THE National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is inviting applications for the 2019 academic year. Grade 12 pupils and post-matrics may submit applications. The NSFAS Student Centred Model has been live from 1 August. However, students who were not previously funded or not funded in 2019 will only be able to apply from 1 September.
Applications close on 30 November.
“All new applications (matriculants) must be submitted directly to NSFAS online (www.nsfas.org.za). Students who have never received NSFAS funding must apply online. All students who were previously funded by NSFAS and are not funded in 2019 must apply online.

“All students who have signed their Loan Agreement Forms (LAF) or Schedule of Particulars (SOP) for 2019 and are currently receiving NSFAS funding do not have to reapply. Funding will be granted provided the funded student meets the NSFAS academic requirements,” said NSFAS.
