Please note that IMBEWU Legacy funds are limited and communication regarding the opening and closing of application windows will be shared on social media.
NSFAS does not fund the University Access Programmes (UAP), as it is a bridging programme. You must fund your own studies and apply the following year for mainstream studies, if you have successfully passed your UAP year. NSFAS funding is ONLY applicable for the Higher Certificates presented via the UFS South Campus. Students who obtained a Higher Certificate must reapply for NSFAS funding.
Please ensure that your contact details at NSFAS are updated for important communication relating to allowances to reach you. To update your cellphone number, please login on your myNSFAS account using your username and password. Once logged in click "Personal Details" on the top of your screen. You will then be able to update your cellphone number and email address.
