Register with NSFAS Bank Account For 2024/2025

Owing to the growing number of students who receive NSFAS assistance, NSFAS has proactively addressed the issues of disbursing tuition and allowances to beneficiaries. This plan serves over a million students, and disbursing payments to such a large number present challenges such as delays, system jams, network outages, and other issues. It is finally over!!!. You can believe me when I say it’s over.

NSFAS has designed a way to accommodate the ever-increasing number of beneficiaries and to ensure that allowances are received seamlessly and securely via the new NSFAS Bank Account. All NSFAS-funded Tvet College and university students will get their allowances through the NSFAS Bank Account, allowing them to receive their funds directly from NSFAS.
