NSFAS, explained simply

General information only — your application, funding and appeals all live on the official NSFAS portal.

Ela hloko Take note

This page is informational only.

NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) manages funding applications, appeals and allowance payments directly. We do not process NSFAS applications on this site, please use the official portal for all account and funding matters.

Dipotso Questions

NSFAS & this accommodation

No. We don't process, submit or manage NSFAS applications. Every funding matter is handled on the official NSFAS portal.

Allowance arrangements are between you, NSFAS and your institution. Please confirm directly with NSFAS or your institution's financial aid office.

Contact NSFAS directly through the official portal or their student support channels — we can't see or change NSFAS accounts.

Anything about the property itself: the rooms, the kitchen, safety, the area. Our contact page is the fastest way.

We're happy to help with anything that isn't an NSFAS account matter.
