The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a government bursary that is available to underprivileged South African students who are looking to study at a public university or TVET College. They provide funding for registration, tuition and allowances, these allowances cover transport, living expenses and learning materials.

When applying to NSFAS they need students to upload supporting documents in order to approve them for funding and the bursary will often withhold any allowances unless all the necessary documents have been submitted and approved.

How To Upload Documents

• Go to my.nsfas.org.za and log in using your details.
• Click on the option to ‘upload outstanding supporting documents’
• Then click on the tab ‘Submit Documents’

Once you have done this then you will receive a notification saying that ‘Outstanding application documents submitted successfully uploaded’.

If you did upload the documents but there was a problem the most common issue is that the documents are not clear.  If you have a problem taking photos with your cellphone you can go to an NSFAS or an NYDA office and they will assist you. If there is not an NSFAS or NYDA office near you, and you have applied to a college or varsity then ask their fees office to assist you.
