ABC Company Invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for the NSFAS 2027 Funding Programme. The closing date for applications is 18 November 2026.
What the NSFAS 2027 Funding Programme is about
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) helps South African students who need money to study at a public university, TVET college or CET college. The 2027 round is now open, and the goal is simple: make sure money problems do not stop bright young people from reaching their dreams.
Who can apply for NSFAS 2027
You can apply if you meet any of the following conditions:
- You are a South African citizen and you are studying, or plan to study, at a public university or TVET college.
- You receive a SASSA grant.
- Your household earns R350 000 per year or less.
- You have a disability and your household earns R600 000 per year or less.
If any of these describe you, you are eligible.
Step‑by‑step guide to apply
1. Create a myNSFAS account
- Go to the myNSFAS portal.
- Register using your South African ID number, a working email address and a personal cell‑phone number.
2. Collect the required documents
Use the checklist below and make sure each file is clear enough to read. You can scan or take a good photo of each document.
| Document | Why you need it |
|---|---|
| Your South African ID or smart ID card number | Proves your identity |
| ID copy of each parent or legal guardian | Shows household details |
| Death certificate (if a parent has died) | Needed for orphan status |

| Parent/guardian signature (if you are under 18) | Confirms they agree with your application |
