Understanding NSFAS

What is NSFAS & how does it work for accommodation?

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) provides funding to qualifying South African students from low-income households. This funding covers tuition fees, accommodation, and a living allowance.

For accommodation, NSFAS pays an allowance directly to accredited accommodation providers or to the student, depending on the arrangement. The accommodation must be registered and accredited through the relevant provincial Department of Higher Education.

At Gradhaven Montana, we handle the NSFAS billing process directly — making it simple for students to access funded accommodation without navigating complex paperwork alone.
