The National Student Financial Aid Program (NSFAS) was established on the basis of the National Student Financial Aid Program. The NSFAS is a scholarship program that provides underprivileged South African students and workers the opportunity for free, fully subsidized higher education and training. The vision of
NSFAS is to provide financial assistance to students from poor and working-class families to attend public universities and TVET colleges.
On 16 December 2017, former President Jacob Zuma announced that the South African government would move into a phase of “full and free support for higher education and training for poor and low-income South African students “Working class”. The funding will be distributed gradually over a period of 5 years and thus the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) scholarship program has been created.
The DHET Bursary will provide cover for the following study related expenses:
- Registration fee
- Tuition fee
- Subsidized book allowances
- Prescribed learning materials (up to a certain amount, as set by NSFAS)
- Subsidized accommodation (up to a certain amount, as set by NSFAS)
