9.3 For new applicants enrolling for PGCE

3 9.3.1 The student must have successfully completed a recognized qualification that qualifies him/her to be admitted for a PGCE.
9.3.2 Only the PGCE for Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching (SPFET) (Grade 7-12) will be funded through the Funza Lushaka Bursary Scheme.

9.3.4 The student must have sufficient modules in the identified priority subjects to qualify to teach it as a subject at school.

Applicants must note that these are minimum criteria. Meeting these criteria does not mean automatic acceptance for the bursary. There are a limited number of bursaries available, and the best students will be selected for the bursary.

10. The bursary is awarded for one academic year at a time. It is not automatically reawarded. A re-award will depend on academic performance of the previous year’s results.
11. There is no automatic promise of financial support for a fifth (5th) year of study i.e. beyond the 4th year of study. On evidence of good academic performance, and pending the availability of funds, the bursary may be re-awarded.
12. Recipients of bursaries will be required to teach one year for every year for which they have received the bursary.

13. What the bursary covers: Funza Lushaka bursaries cover most of the recipient’s essential expenses. Expenses covered include tuition fees, accommodation including meals, books and learning materials, teaching practice and if possible a small allowance for monthly living expenses. The allocation to any individual student is capped at a specific value. Where the university charges more than the capped value the bursars will have to top up from their own funds. Universities have different cost structures, so the total value of a bursary differs from institution to institution.

 

Repayment

14. Recipients of these bursaries will be required to teach at a public school for the same number of years that they received the bursary. No repayment of the bursary is therefore required.
15. Instances where the bursary conditions are not adhered to may require repayment of the bursary. The amount that is repayable is the full amount of the bursary received under the programme, less one year’s funding for every year spent teaching at a public school. Interest will be charged at the rate determined by NSFAS.
16. If you are awarded or re-awarded the bursary, you will be expected to have an e-mail address and a contactable cell phone number which will not be changed for the duration of the studies for communication purposes with the funder and DBE officials. These conditions are all contained in the bursary contract which all applicants must sign. When applicants sign the bursary contract, they are legally agreeing to the conditions described in the contract. The applicants must keep a copy of the signed contract .

 

Processes of applying

17. Applications must only be made once students have been allocated a valid student number and have been accepted/provisionally accepted at their university of choice.
18. All applications must be made online at http://www.funzalushaka.doe.gov.za/Home/FirstTime .  Take note of the closing date. No applications will be entertained after the closing date. Students must apply online and submit supporting documentation to the university’s Funza Lushaka office.
19. Please ensure that all information that you capture is accurate, and that priority subject areas that you capture are the ones you will specialise in. The academic year of study refers to the level you are studying e.g. B Ed 1 = 1st year, B Ed 3 = 3rd year.
20. Please note that you have access to your on-line bursary application to “Update personal details” or make changes to your application before applications close.
21. Students who change institutions after submitting their bursary application forms will not be considered for selection.
22. Having applied for the bursary is not a guarantee that a student will receive it.

 

Communications from students about the bursary

All enquiries about the bursary must be directed to the Funza Lushaka academic and administrative co-ordinators at your university. They will be best placed to respond to any issues. Students should not communicate directly with NSFAS (the financial managers of the scheme) or with the Department of Basic Education (DBE) or the Department of Higher Education and Training. Students may not come in person to the DBE, but should phone and enquire at 012 357 3000 or email us at inquiries.funzalushaka@dbe.gov.za

NSFAS 2024 APPLICATIONS

NSFAS Releases 2024 Application Dates

NSFAS Application 2024/2025 - www.nsfas.org.za

Many students wanting to study in 2024 have been patiently waiting for the 2024 NSFAS applications to open so they can submit their bursary applications. NSFAS has released the 2024 application dates.

 

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has finally revealed when 2024 applications will open. Prospective students can begin submitting their NSFAS bursary applications from Tuesday 21, November 2023.

Students will have until 31 January 2024 to submit their NSFAS funding applications. This means that students will have just over two months to submit applications for the lucrative bursaries.

The reason for opening in November, is so that we can afford the beneficiary shorter turn around times for decision making which is aligned to our financial eligibility assessment which requires updated SARS information.

NSFAS provides comprehensive funding to more than one million students enrolled in approved programmes at public universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges.

The comprehensive bursaries provided by NSFAS seek to cover all the costs a student may incur on a tertiary education journey. The government bursary scheme provides students with money for tuition and registration fees, along with several allowances.

 

 

NSFAS provides students with an accommodation allowance, meal allowance and stationery allowances. If students live at home they will receive a transport allowance in place of the accommodation allowance while students who live in catered accommodation will not receive a meal allowance.

NSFAS awaited the completion of the SARS tax period to ensure the availability of necessary and updated information during the application season. This strategic timing facilitates the efficient processing of applications and aligns with the organisation’s commitment to streamlining decision-making processes.

 

The financial aid scheme has encouraged all students who meet the eligibility criteria to submit a NSFAS application during the prescribed application period. They also remind grade 12 learners that they do not need their matric results to submit a NSFAS application.

We encourage all students who wish to study in the post-school education and training sector higher education and training space to ensure that they apply on time. It is also important that students note that they don’t need results when they are entering post-school education and training for the first time.

NSFAS announced they are in talks with the Department of Basic Education (DBE) to enhance the application validation process. These discussions hope to improve verification procedures, particularly regarding parental relationships.

The adjustments are designed to ensure timely confirmation of funding decisions.

NSFAS has urged all applicants to provide accurate information when submitting their NSFAS application. These mistakes can result in the student’s NSFAS 2024 application being rejected.

10. The bursary is awarded for one academic year at a time. It is not automatically reawarded. A re-award will depend on academic performance of the previous year’s results.
11. There is no automatic promise of financial support for a fifth (5th) year of study i.e. beyond the 4th year of study. On evidence of good academic performance, and pending the availability of funds, the bursary may be re-awarded.
12. Recipients of bursaries will be required to teach one year for every year for which they have received the bursary.

 

13. What the bursary covers: Funza Lushaka bursaries cover most of the recipient’s essential expenses. Expenses covered include tuition fees, accommodation including meals, books and learning materials, teaching practice and if possible a small allowance for monthly living expenses. The allocation to any individual student is capped at a specific value. Where the university charges more than the capped value the bursars will have to top up from their own funds. Universities have different cost structures, so the total value of a bursary differs from institution to institution.

 

Repayment

14. Recipients of these bursaries will be required to teach at a public school for the same number of years that they received the bursary. No repayment of the bursary is therefore required.
15. Instances where the bursary conditions are not adhered to may require repayment of the bursary. The amount that is repayable is the full amount of the bursary received under the programme, less one year’s funding for every year spent teaching at a public school. Interest will be charged at the rate determined by NSFAS.
16. If you are awarded or re-awarded the bursary, you will be expected to have an e-mail address and a contactable cell phone number which will not be changed for the duration of the studies for communication purposes with the funder and DBE officials. These conditions are all contained in the bursary contract which all applicants must sign. When applicants sign the bursary contract, they are legally agreeing to the conditions described in the contract. The applicants must keep a copy of the signed contract .
