Editor LauraThe National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a public entity created by the South African government to provide student funding to students attending SA public universities and colleges. NSFAS is governed by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme Act of 1999 and is regulated by the Department of Higher Education.
Private colleges are not eligible for funding under this scheme as they do not offer qualifications registered on the NQF.
Funding For Private Colleges In South Africa
If you are a student looking to study at a private college in South Africa and want to know how much funding you can expect, then it is important that you understand that this type of funding falls under the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) bursary programme. This means that students who qualify will be able to access this type of funding through NSFAS
Students who qualify will be able to access this type of funding through NSFAS, which is a public entity created by the South African government with the aim of helping students pay for their education at private institutions. Funding from NSFAS can cover tuition fees as well as living expenses such as accommodation and food costs.
The NSFAS provides loans, grants and bursaries (scholarships) for eligible students studying full-time at accredited institutions in South Africa. It also provides postgraduate study opportunities for graduates who need additional training to qualify them for employment in their field of study or industry area.
Student funding through NSFAS is available to students who qualify, but it’s only available to students who apply.
Applicants must attend a registered private college that offers qualifications on the NQF. They can only apply if they meet certain criteria and their application must be approved by NSFAS before they can receive funding. Students must also pay registration fees and tuition fees at their chosen institution before they can receive money from NSFAS.
