Financial aid is a form of all-inclusive funding based on allowed educational expenses. The National Bursary Rules and Guidelines of the Department of Higher Education and Training established the allowed cost of education on an annual basis.
NSFAS will award cash to eligible students based on their permitted cost of attendance; this does not include coverage for clubs and societies or any penalties.
To see if their application was successful, applicants must go to My NSFAS. New and returning students’ eligibility for financial aid will be communicated to institutions by NSFAS.
Qualified students’ registration (study charges) will be provided to NSFAS after registration. After receiving and processing registration cost data, NSFAS will confirm the actual grant amount.
It’s important to remember that NSFAS won’t be able to do anything unless registration data is provided.

Eligibility Criteria Application for NSFAS at North-West University

NSFAS will provide NWU application information verifying grant eligibility.

All NWU NSFAS applicants must meet the following qualifying requirements:

South African citizens and permanent residents
The first undergraduate degree
Eligibility financially
If the student has previously been enrolled in a tertiary institution, and the number of years of enrollment to apply the N+1 rule
It should be noted that the post-graduate legal program is no longer sponsored (LAWP01, as well as the PGCE, PGDA programs)

How do I go about applying?

To register and complete your online NWU NSFAS Application, follow the link below to the NSFAS website.

What criteria will be used to determine my financial eligibility?

NSFAS determines grant eligibility using the National Bursary Rules and Guidelines published annually by the Department of Higher Education and Training.

Will I get reimbursed for all of my expenses if I am successful?

NSFAS funding is determined annually by the parameters outlined in the National Bursary Rules and Guidelines.

Examples of costs paid can be seen in Undergraduate Funding Scenarios.

A student, on the other hand, will only be sponsored at one university. If you cancel your registration at one university and then enroll at another, your NSFAS funding may be jeopardized if the study costs have already been submitted. NWU has no responsibility for the financial consequences of changing your registered institution.
Applicants who are not NSFAS eligible may be considered for NWU GAP funding if they meet the GAP funding eligibility requirements.

Can I challenge the NSFAS ineligibility decision?

Applicants’ appeals are normally started using the MyNSFAS site by NSFAS. Please be assured that you use the correct procedure. Returning students must appeal their financial aid decisions to the Financial Aid Office.
