NSFAS Update | Funding Eligibility Decisions for 2026

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has begun releasing funding eligibility decisions for the 2026 academic year following the close of the application cycle.

Applicants are encouraged to log in to the myNSFAS portal to check their application status and ensure that any outstanding documentation is submitted within the stipulated timeframe.

NSFAS remains committed to finalising all funding decisions by 31 December 2025, providing clarity and certainty for students preparing for the 2026 academic year.

Stay informed. Stay prepared.

Every job type requires different technical skills and all jobs need the same critical and life skills.

Your skills are one of the most important aspects that employers look at when they decide whether to employ you or not. A skill is your ability to do something. Your skills are your assets - something of value. Your skills are also your tools - the ability you have to do things. The labour market is about offering these assets or tools to employers in return for payment. There are different kinds of skills, for example:

* Generic skills
These are skills that you can use in any workplace in most sectors of the economy. They include reading and writing, computer skills, driving skills, as well as communication and management.

* Technical skills
Technical skills refer to those practical skills and specialized knowledge you have in a specific career field such as in a mechanical, industrial or scientific field.

* Soft skills (Life skills)
More and more employers demand that they need a work-seeker to have the right life skills, such as work ethics (looking, speaking and dressing appropriately, coming to work on time, being interested and enthusiastic about one’s work, being productive, hard-working, finishing tasks on time, respect for oneself and others, honesty and integrity), good interpersonal skills, conflict management, decision-making, emotional intelligence (dealing with your emotions in a mature way - you need to control your emotions in the work-place), and teamwork skills. Most employers say that life skills are often more important than other skills - attend life skills programmes to increase your chances to get employed.

The Department of Employment and Labour has qualified Employment Counsellor practitioners countrywide to assist you with Job hunting guidelines including:
CV writing skills and interview preparation. These services are offered free of charge.

Work-seekers are welcomed to visit any Labour Centre available in all Provinces across the Country.

Class of 2026, let's prepare today.
