The NSFAS online application form is currently available and should be completed by any applicant considering enrolling at a South African university or TVET college. To complete the online application process, applicants must ensure that all required documents are ready and uploaded via the MyNSFAS student portal as soon as the application period opens.
Deadline and Application Deadline
The application period for NSFAS funding in 2024 began in November, allowing for a shorter submission period compared to previous years. Applicants should note that the NSFAS application deadline is 31 January 2024.
Late opening explained: Minister of Higher Education, Training and Innovation Blade Nzimande explained that the NSFAS was opened later than usual to include information from the South African Revenue Service ( SARS) on tax returns. This step aims to accurately determine the applicant’s household income based on the tax returns submitted to the tax authorities.
Applicants are strongly advised not to falsify information in their application, as historical cases show that NSFAS funding has been withdrawn from students who have provided false information. Ensuring trust in the application process remains important.
Simplified application process: Recent changes discussed by the Minister include improvements to the application process and the implementation of the scholarship program. These changes cause applicants to submit fewer documents than in previous years.
