Switching between different Programs (“Program Hopping”)
According to the DHET TVET College Bursary Scheme rules and guidelines 2015 – Pg 10, paragraph 14.14: “With effect from 2013, bursary recipients who switch from one program to another (i.e. from NCV to Report 191 program or vice-versa) during their studies are not eligible for financial assistance.
Furthermore, bursary recipients who complete NCV Level 4 are not eligible for financial assistance should they want to enroll in Report 191 program N1-N3; similarly bursary recipients who complete Report 191 N6 are not eligible for financial assistance should they want to enroll for an NCV program. However, bursary recipients who complete NCV L4 are eligible for financial assistance should they want to enroll for Report 191 N4-N6. ”
Financial Aid is linked to academic performance, financial need, and class attendance. Attendance Policy of 80% attendance will be adhered to.

National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) Bursary Applications 2025.

Original documents and copies must be taken to the nearest Police station/ local Post Office for the stamp.

Original documents are not accepted. It is the responsibility of the student to make sure that the application form is fully/ correctly completed.
On submission of the NSFAS application form, the student will receive a receipt, which should be kept as proof of application, without it, is your word against ours. Please present your slip at all times to the Financial Aid/Bursary Office.
First-year students will only be given an application form for Financial Assistance upon providing the Financial Aid Office with a letter from the university indicating that the student has been either accepted or provisionally accepted for the 2025 academic year.
The value of the NSFAS award will only be credited to the student’s fee account in the third term, once all bursaries have been awarded and paid into the student’s account. This is to ensure that the loans granted are as low as possible.
Students receiving NSFAS loans will be required to complete an application form and a loan agreement before any payment will be effected.
The allocation received from NSFAS is limited and hence the Financial Aid Committee of the Coastal KZN TVET College, which gives financial aid awards, must ensure that as many students are supported as possible while at the same time taking into account financial need.
Students are therefore advised that registering based on receiving a full loan from NSFAS should not be considered and that a family contribution as determined by the Means Test may be required. It is also important to note that there are various different kinds of funding made available each year through NSFAS.
All students can apply for a loan from the National Students Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), a government loan scheme with the added incentive of a bursary conversion (max 40%) depending on academic performance. The parent’s/family’s contribution to the student’s study cost is called the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and is calculated using the Government’s National Means Test.
