Further Education and Training Colleges
Students and young adults who intend to follow a specific career
may choose a public FET College and register for one of the vocational programmes.
Public FET Colleges are positioning themselves as post-school institutions to cater
for students and adults who want to pursue a vocational career path.
Students Guide to Funding:
If you want to study one of the National Certificate (Vocational)
programmes at a public Further Education & Training (FET) College, and you meet
all the requirements, you could have your studies paid for you in the form of a
bursary. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) administers these bursaries
– money to cover the costs of your studies – and you don’t have to repay anything!
How to apply
1. First apply to the FET College for admission to a course of
study.
2. Complete bursary application forms at the Student Support Centre
at the FET College.
3. Provide all the documents needed: a certified copy of your South
African ID, certified copies of your parents’ payslips, copies of the IDs of other
members of your family who are studying or at school,etc.
4. The Student Support Centre will use the information you have
provided to assess you in terms of the Financial Means Test, a way of determining
financial need.
Note: Not all applicants will receive a bursary.
Applicants are ranked in terms of financial need, and factors such as academic potential
are taken into account when the FET College makes its selection of recipients of
the bursary. If the Student Support Centre asks you for additional information or
documents, it’s your responsibility to respond promptly and accurately.
