Beneficiaries of NSF bursaries and scholarships
Can I apply for a bursary and scholarship directly with the NSF?
All bursary and scholarship applications and awards are administered by National Skills Fund (NSF) strategic and implementing partners, namely: National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), National Research Foundation (NRF), National Institute for Human and Social Sciences (NIHSS) and the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) international scholarships.
The NSF Bursaries Unit manages, but does not receive or process bursary application directly from students.
What should I do if my registration/tuition hasn’t been paid despite receiving written confirmation of my approved bursary?
Challenges experienced after receiving approval for a bursary and scholarship should be directed to the relevant institution and can also be reported to the NSF bursaries unit on 012 943 3101 and at NSFBursaries@dhet.gov.za.
