The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) provides loans and gives various NSFAS bursaries to students at all 25 of our public universities, as well as the 50 public TVET colleges. Instead of having to repay the monetary value as with loans, bursars who apply for a NSFAS bursary will enter into a contract to work in a specific sector in South Africa for a specified amount of time after their graduation.

The South African Reserve Bank (the Bank) provides bursaries to students in relevant fields of study who are from disadvantaged backgrounds. These bursaries are made available annually to needy qualifying Grade 12 pupils to embark on full-time studies. These includes, for example; Economics, Actuarial Sciences, Mathematical Statistics, Information Technology, Finance, Law and Accounting, but also includes for example, Medicine, Dentistry and Social Work. A bursary will be granted from the first academic year and reviewed annually. Bursary holders need not reapply for the bursary each year. The Bank will provide students who are Bank bursary holders, vacation work opportunities that are funded by the Bank.
