Which TVET Colleges Offer NSFAS
If you are considering furthering your education but worried about the costs, the good news is that many Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in South Africa are supported by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, mapped to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds access higher education by covering tuition fees, accommodation, and other study-related costs.
NSFAS funding is available at most public TVET colleges across the country, making it possible for thousands of students to pursue practical and in-demand qualifications without the financial burden. These colleges provide hands-on training in fields such as engineering, business studies, information technology, hospitality, and many more, all areas where skilled professionals are needed in the South African job market.
Some of the well-known TVET colleges that offer NSFAS include Tshwane South TVET College, Ekurhuleni East TVET College, False Bay TVET College, Boland TVET College, and Coastal KZN TVET College, among others. Essentially, if a TVET college is public and registered under the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), it is likely to be NSFAS-accredited.
To apply for NSFAS, students must meet certain requirements, such as being a South African citizen and coming from a household with a combined income below a specific threshold. Once approved, NSFAS not only covers tuition but also provides allowances for transport, meals, and learning materials, depending on individual circumstances.
