The NSFAS, together with their sBux cellphone payment facility, is one of the best ways for deserving South African students to pay for their tertiary education as well as books & accommodation. Briefly, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) provides funding & loans for students to further their studies at all universities & TVET colleges throughout South Africa. Should a student qualify for a NSFAS loan they do not have to supply guarantees or sureties from parents or guardians in order to receive their study aid or loan. If you’re wondering what sBux is all about, it’s a facility that allows qualifying students to access their allowances in the form of vouchers. These vouchers are sent to the students’ cellphones which enable them to pay for food, accommodation, books & travel at any registered sBux merchant. Satisfy a means test to demonstrate that they do in fact require financial aid in order to study at a university or tertiary institution. Applying for funding for your studies is very easy as you can submit your NSFAS application online without having to go into their offices. The aim of this is have the student at the heart of their operations & be able to deliver the best possible experience across every touch point. A study bursary is the money a student could receive to cover the costs of studies for certain qualifications at any public university or college in South Africa. A huge incentive for NSFAS funded students, is that if they pass all of their modules they qualify to get up to 40% of their loan converted into a bursary. This is a multi-year programme to promote teaching as a profession. Bursaries are available to enable eligible students to complete a teaching qualification in an area of national priority. Qualified recipients of the bursary must request placement in a public school. These bursaries focus on training at colleges, which is vocational or occupational by nature with a view towards a specific range of jobs or employment possibilities. In some circumstances, students may qualify for admission to a University of Technology to continue their studies at a higher level than they were studying at the TVET college. Bursaries for studying Social Work are available through the Department of Social Development. The National Department of Social Development has made a scholarship available in the field of social work. This is a result of the recruitment and retention strategy initiative to address critical skills shortages in the sector. Applications are open to current social work students and students, who would like to enrol for a social work, provided they are are South African citizens. Lastly, the NSFAS has provided over 1.5 million students with financial assistance to further their education at one of the many TVET Colleges & Universities throughout South Africa. South Africa would actually need in the region of R50bn a year to provide for free tertiary education. This is money that could have been put to good use by the NSFAS & consequently a forensic investigation has been implemented to ascertain where millions of rands intended for tertiary student funding have ended up.
