NSFAS Guidelines

1. Make sure of your NSFAS funding status.  Log on to MYNSFAS portal for confirmation.
2. If your status indicated that you are PROVISIONALLY FUNDED, you will be cleared to register without paying the First Minimum Amount.
3. Once you are registered, you need to log on to the NWU DIY Service Portal to:

• Verify your contact details
• Capture your own banking details
• Apply for Travel or Private Accommodation Allowances

4. NSFAS Allowances:

• Monthly LIVING ALLOWANCES will be paid in your own bank account before the 25^th of every month
• LEARNING MATERIAL ALLOWANCES will be once off paid with the first living allowances.  This must also be utilised to buy yourself a laptop/ learning device.
• You only qualify for an allowance for Private Accommodation when you make use of an ACCREDITED SERVICE PROVIDER.  The Service Provider must provide you with their NWU accreditation number.
  Payments to Private Service Providers will be done by the NWU end of  April, July and September.
• If you prefer to make your own arrangements (living with family or non-accredited accommodation), you only qualify for a monthly TRAVEL ALLOWANCE.  You can not have both Private – and Travel Allowances.  Travel Allowances will monthly be paid with the Living Allowances in your own bank account.
