Your Guide to Student Funding Information in South Africa

mynsfas.org.za is an independent, student-focused information platform created to help South African learners understand and navigate matters related to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

We exist to support students, parents, and guardians by providing clear, simplified, and up-to-date information about NSFAS applications, funding processes, allowances, appeals, and official contact channels. Our goal is to reduce confusion and misinformation by presenting NSFAS-related information in a way that is easy to understand and accessible to everyone.

What myNSFAS.org.za Stands For

At myNSFAS.org.za, we believe that access to accurate information is a key part of access to education. Many students struggle not because they are ineligible for funding, but because they do not fully understand the process or miss important steps.

That is why we focus on:

  • Explaining NSFAS processes in simple language

  • Sharing verified official contact details

  • Publishing helpful guides for applications, appeals, and allowances

  • Helping students avoid scams and misinformation

For us, myNSFAS represents “My New Start for Academic Success” — a symbol of opportunity, hope, and support for students working toward a better future.
