apply for bursaries

The progression from childhood to young adulthood typically features a growing sense of independence among these young people in transition. One of the major indicators of independence, includes having your own bank account, and the FNBy account is the perfect place for a student to start.

Being that there is a consistently high application rate for NSFAS bursaries from prospective tertiary students year after year, NSFAS makes a few attempts to uncomplicate the process of application for students. One such means through which they do this, is through digital communication such as email or SMS, which keeps students up to date about any missing documents, missing information, and the status of their applications.

NSFAS has decided to give students laptops to give them access to online learning during Covid-19. This comes as Universities and TVET Colleges implement online learning and close down campuses to combat the spread of the coronavirus. 

NSFAS-Funded students who qualify to receive allowances directly from NSFAS will receive cash funds in their NSFAS Wallets. If your NSFAS Wallet is locked, no worries. Here's why and how to unlock it. 

Those seeking funding for their higher education can now apply for NSFAS funding in 2021 at National Youth Development Agency centres across South Africa. NSFAS applications for 2021 are now open and will close on 30 November 2020.
