Public-institution funding questions
How many public institutions are in this NSFAS directory?
This directory contains all 26 public universities and all 50 public TVET colleges named in DHET's official national registers.
Does appearing here mean NSFAS will fund me?
No. It confirms that the institution is in the public-institution universe. NSFAS must still assess the student, household finances, registration, academic progression and whether the qualification is funded.
What if my college is not in this directory?
It may be a private institution, a community education and training college, or an unregistered provider. Check the institution with DHET before paying fees or sending personal documents.
