NSFAS was established according to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme Act (Act 56 of 1999) and incorporated TEFSA (Tertiary Education Fund of South Africa). From 1993 to 2000, TEFSA was the primary non-profit company in terms of Section 21 of the Companies Act and ceased to operate in July 2000.
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) application portal is made available for individuals who want to apply for loans from the organization to pay for their education at any public Tvet College or University in South Africa. Financial aid is always available to students who need it to support their education because they are unable to afford their tuition, books, or other expenses. Students will only be admitted, nevertheless, if they are qualified and have the necessary documentation.
