The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) will open applications for the TVET Trimester 3 2026 intake on 14 August 2026, closing on 23 August 2026. This is a narrow, ten-day application window specifically for TVET college applicants in the Trimester 3 cycle.
This window applies to TVET college applicants only — university-specific NSFAS application windows are announced separately by NSFAS each year and should not be confused with this TVET-specific date.
What this means for students: if you are applying to or currently studying at a TVET college and need NSFAS funding for Trimester 3 2026, prepare your documents now — certified ID, proof of household income, and proof of registration or admission — so you can apply as soon as the window opens on 14 August.
