The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has brought forward its 2026 TVET Trimester 3 funding window. Applications open on 14 August 2026 and close on 23 August 2026 — a ten-day window.
This is specifically the TVET Trimester 3 funding cycle, not the general NSFAS application window for the 2027 academic year, which is a separate process opening later. Do not confuse the two.
What to do
- Check that your TVET programme falls under the Trimester 3 intake before applying.
- Apply only through the official myNSFAS portal — never through a third party.
- NSFAS applications are free. Do not pay anyone to apply on your behalf.
We will update this article if NSFAS changes the window or confirms further details once the portal opens.
