Dear Senior & Prospective Students,

Please note that NSFAS applications for the 2027 academic year officially opened yesterday, 18 September 2026, and will close on 30 October 2026.

TUT returning students: You do not need to apply again. If you are currently registered and continuing with your studies in 2027, your NSFAS application will apply automatically.

Prospective students: If you applied for NSFAS last year to be funded in 2026 but you did not get any admission, you must apply again for the 2027 academic year.

If you have not yet been accepted by a university or TVET college, select “2027 – Annual – University” when applying.

The NSFAS 2027 application cycle

“I am pleased to announce that the 2027 National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) application cycle officially opens today and will close on 31 October 2026. Funding outcomes will be communicated to successful applicants in December, providing greater certainty ahead of registration for the 2027 academic year. To all prospective applicants: do not wait until the closing date. Apply as early as possible. Applying early gives you time to verify your information, submit outstanding documentation and seek assistance if you encounter challenges.
We are also taking the application process to communities. Outreach teams will be deployed across provinces, districts, rural communities, townships and marginalised communities to ensure that information and application support reach eligible learners and prospective students. We will work with schools, provincial education departments, community stakeholders and institutions to assist those who may otherwise face barriers to accessing information about student funding. We are particularly pleased to have schools from the City of Johannesburg participating in today’s launch, including learners with disabilities. Their presence reminds us that access must be inclusive. Every learner, regardless of background or circumstance, must have an opportunity to access financial support for education and training.” Buti Manamela
