The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) offers South African students access to higher education funding through bursaries and loans. This funding covers tuition fees and includes allowances for essential student needs.

In a recent update, NSFAS reversed its earlier decision not to open a walk-in application period for TVET College students in January 2025. The scheme has now confirmed that NSFAS walk-in applications for 2025 are open and will close on 24 January 2025.
