Nelson Mandela University NSFAS Online Application 2025

Nelson Mandela University NSFAS Online Application

Prospective students who applied before the closing date of 30 September to study at Nelson Mandela University are urged to apply for National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) loan funding before the closing date of 30 November.

This is regardless of whether they have yet heard from the University on the outcome of their application or not, as the NSFAS process runs separately to the University’s own processes.

No applications for the loan funding will be considered after 30 November.

The University wants as many financially-challenged and academically deserving students to take advantage of the loan funding support so as not to miss out on the opportunity of studying further.

The same appeal goes to those students who may not have been successful with their request last year. Apply now.

Please urgently go to www.nsfas.org.za or visit your nearest National Youth Development Agency’s offices to pick up a hard-copy form. The Port Elizabeth branch is adjacent to City Hall in Kwantu Towers. These forms have been bar-coded so that prospective NSFAS applicants can track the progress of their application.

Those who already have NSFAS loan funding, however, need not apply again.

These are the admission status codes that you may have seen when quering your application:

WO = your online application has been submitted and you will be notified of the outcome of your application in due course

NSFAS provides financial aid to South African students using funds provided mainly by government departments and public entities. NSFAS provides billions in loans and bursaries to students at public FET colleges and universities.

Some facts about the NSFAS loan

• NSFAS loans are for students who are financially needy.
• The size of the loan is determined by a means test as prescribed by NSFAS.
• Only students who are South African citizens and accepted by NMMU to do a first tertiary qualification (full-time), and students who are intending to register for specific post-graduate courses i.e. PGCE

First years and senior new applicants

Make sure you submit your application before 30 November . To apply online, go to my.nsfas.org.za

Continuing NSFAS students
