Student Loans


Student loans for university students

NSFAS assists students who have the academic potential to succeed at university and who qualify in terms of the NSFAS Means Test for financial aid.

What is a student loan?
A student loan is the money you borrow from NSFAS to cover the costs of your studies at any of the 25 public universities in South Africa. The costs include tuition fees, residence or private accommodation costs, food, books and travel. This loan must be repaid to NSFAS when you have finished studying. Depending on your results, up to 40% of your NSFAS study loan may be converted into a bursary and you do not need to repay that amount.
NSFAS has very reasonable repayment terms, which are based on what you earn after you leave university. All loans that are repaid are used to fund other students who also need financial assistance.
NSFAS gives loans to students without the need for guarantees or sureties from parents or guardians.
To apply for a NSFAS study loan you can apply at the institution or online directly to NSFAS and fill in the application form. 
You can also print out the form and fill it in, then send it to NSFAS by post to this address: 
NSFAS
Private Bag X4
Plumstead
7801
Cape Town

What documents do I need when I apply?
When you apply for a NSFAS student loan, you must attach all the documents listed below:
  1. Grade 12 Certificate.
  2. South African Identity Document.
  3. Proof of parents' income.
  4. Proof of registration at school, college or university of brothers and sisters who live in the same household.
  5. Proof of registration can be obtained at the institutions where your brothers and sisters are registered at.
  6. Certified copies of their Birth Certificates and their Identity Documents.
  7. If you have a permanent disability, a letter from your doctor to confirm proof of disability.
  8. Letter of acceptance from the public university or college where you have applied to study.

For a complete list of all the required documents required when you apply for a NSFAS bursary or loan, click here.

How do I repay the student loan?
NSFAS student loans are income-contingent. This means that repayment starts only when you have an income, usually when you start working. NSFAS will send you statements showing how much you owe and how much you must pay back each month. 
It is your legal responsibility to keep in touch with NSFAS and to inform us of any change of address.

How are repayments calculated?
NSFAS has made repayments affordable for you. Repayments of your student loan are based on the salary that you earn, and start once your salary is R30 000 or more per year. 
Payments start at 3% of your annual salary, increasing to a maximum of 8% when your salary reaches R59 300 or more per year. For example, this means you will pay back R900 a year on a salary of R30 000 a year, or R84 per month. 
When your salary is R59 300 you will pay back R4 744 a year or R696 a month. NSFAS charges lower interest rates than banks. Interest is charged at 80% of the repo rate, which is the repurchase rate at which the Reserve Bank lends to commercial banks. NSFAS will continue to charge interest on all outstanding balances. It is therefore very important to start repaying your loan as soon as possible.

How will I repay the loan if I am unemployed or still studying?
You do not have to repay if you are unemployed or still studying, but you do have to provide written proof (in the form of an affidavit, valid for 3 months) to say that you are unemployed. 
Please stay in contact with us and make sure that information such as your employment status and your personal details, including address and cellphone numbers, are up to date.

Does NSFAS pay registration costs for first-year and returning students?
Yes, but only for students where the Expected Family Contribution is 0 on the Means Test.

How is part of a NSFAS loan converted into a bursary that does not have to be repaid?
Up to 40% of your student loan may be converted into a bursary and does not have to be repaid, depending on your year-end results. NSFAS checks these results with the university at the end of every year of study.
Final Year Programme
Students in their final year of study, who will qualify to graduate at the end of the year, are eligible to be funded through the Final Year Programme. This is a special funding programme which was launched by the President in 2011. If you graduate in your final year, the loan is converted to a 100% bursary.  Students can only benefit from the Final Year Programme once.

How do these bursary conversions show on NSFAS accounts?
Bursary rebates and your credit balance appear on your statement when NSFAS receives your academic results and refunds from the university. This takes place at the end of the NSFAS financial year in April.
Your academic results are used to calculate any bursary rebates: for example, 40% of your student loan will be converted into a bursary if you pass all courses; if you pass half of your courses, then 20% of the student loan will be converted into a bursary. If you don't pass any courses, you will not receive any bursary rebate for that academic year and you will have to repay 100% of your student loan.

What happens to any money left over from my NSFAS student loan?
Money left over from a NSFAS study loan is never paid out to you. The money is deducted from the balance you owe. You will not have to pay interest on it, and NSFAS will have more funds to help other students like you. Funds paid back to NSFAS are used as your first repayment of your student loan.

New Student-Centred Model for NSFAS Loans and Bursaries

my picture
In the new student-centred model, NSFAS will:

  1. Be in contact with learners from as early as Grade 9, so that they know which loans and bursaries they can apply for before they leave school.
  2. Have a central process for students to apply for NSFAS loans and bursaries. Students will be able to apply directly to NSFAS online and we will inform students on the progress of their applications by SMS and email.
  3. Have a new system to answer students’ questions and to provide information about loans and bursaries.

This new NSFAS student-centred system will be in place by the end of 2013, and will be implemented for all universities and FET colleges by 2016. In 2014 the first group of universities to use the new system will be:
  1. Durban University of Technology
  2. Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University
  3. Sol Plaatje University
  4. University of Cape Town
  5. University of Mpumalanga
  6. University of South Africa
  7. University of Venda

In 2014 the first group of FET colleges to use the new system will be:

  1. Ekurhuleni East FET College
  2. King Hintsa FET College
  3. Motheo FET College
  4. South Cape FET College
  5. Umfolozi FET College

In the new system NSFAS will continue to pay tuition and residence fees directly to each university or college. Allowances for private accommodation, food, books and transport will be paid directly to students by NSFAS.

If you want to study at any of the universities or colleges in phase 1 in 2014, you can apply directly to NSFAS for student financial aid. Please fill in the NSFAS Application Form and attach the required documents, then send the form to NSFAS at apply@nsfas.org.za or post it to NSFAS at:

NSFAS
Private Bag X4
Plumstead
7801
Cape Town
South Africa

If you want to study at any other university or FET college in 2014, you must apply for student financial aid at the university or FET college where you want to study.
