NSFAS Laptop Application form at TUT For 2026

In today’s digital world, having a smart device has become essential in education. Students must have a laptop, tablet, or desktop for research and digital learning. As a result, Tshwane University of Technology is offering an open application for an allowance to cover educational supplies, such as laptops, for the 2026 academic year. This initiative is spearheaded by the NSFAS funding bursary, a public organization administered by the government of South Africa

The Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation of South Africa directed NSFAS to purchase learning tools like laptops at their own expense for students on the scheme and any student (Non-Nsfas) interested in ensuring that the blended learning methodology is realized.

This was done as part of the South African government’s mission to ensure that the difficulties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic do not affect teaching and learning at higher education and training institutions. So, if you are a student at the Tshwane University of Technology, apply by downloading the form from TUT’s official website.
