Nsfas opens applications for 2025 academic year
Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane has encouraged prospective students to apply to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme for the 2025 academic year.
Online applications opened on Friday after several postponements.
The application process will close on 15 December.
"I am therefore inviting all students who are seating for their matriculation this year to take this opportunity and apply for either the Nsfas bursary or loan," the minister said.
"This invitation is also extended to learners from grade 9, 10, and 11, who would like to enter the Technical and Vocational Education and Training sector," she added.
The Nsfas bursary is open to all South African citizens and permanent residents with a combined household income of not more than R350,000 per annum.
For persons living with disabilities, the combined household income is capped at R600,000 per annum.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) grant recipients automatically qualify on financial eligibility.
