Do you want to attend TVET college or are you currently enrolled and from a household earning R350 000 or less? When the National Student Financial Scheme distributes funds to eligible students, TVET Colleges are given preference in order to promote the integration of practical vocational skills into the nation’s workforce and economy as a whole. Universities typically receive the majority of NSFAS money for students, but TVET colleges nearly double that amount overall, therefore they are given preference when it comes to bursary distribution.
