Why It Matters
Why This Matters for Your Career
Getting a good education can help you find a better job. But many students in South Africa cannot afford to pay for college or university. NSFAS gives money to students who need help. This means more people can get the skills they need to find work.
The new NSFAS mobile app makes it easier to apply. You can do everything on your phone. But you must apply by October 31, 2026. If you miss the deadline, you will not get funding for 2027. So if you plan to study to improve your job chances, apply early.
After you apply, NSFAS will check your information. If you disagree with their decision, you can appeal. The whole process ends in January 2027. So you will know if you have funding before the school year starts.
