About NSFAS F0rm
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) was established from the perspective of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. NSFAS is a scholarship scheme that provides fully structured, free higher education and training to poor working-class South African students. The vision of
NSFAS is to provide financial support to students from poor and working-class families and to conduct research at public universities and TVET universities.
Former President Jacob Zuma announced on December 16, 2017, that the South African government would phase in “fully subsidized free higher education and training for poor and working-class South African students.”
The funding would be phased in over a five-year period, resulting in the establishment of the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) Bursary Scheme.
