About NSFAS
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has been commissioned to provide an efficient and sustainable financial
aid system for poor yet academically eligible students. NSFAS enables these students to obtain loans and bursaries at
26 public higher education institutions and 50 technical and vocational education training colleges.
The NSFAS represents a major success in terms of government’s redress agenda. It’s also an example of best practice
in promoting the access of previously disadvantaged students to higher education.
