Mnambithi TVET College NSFAS 2026

Mnambithi TVET College continues to be a pillar of hope and opportunity for students in KwaZulu-Natal and beyond. As the 2026 academic year approaches, many prospective and returning students are turning to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) for support in pursuing their education. NSFAS remains one of the most important financial aid schemes in South Africa, and Mnambithi TVET College works closely with it to ensure that deserving students can access funding for their studies.

The partnership between Mnambithi TVET College and NSFAS plays a critical role in making higher education more accessible and affordable. Whether you are enrolling for a National Certificate (Vocational) or a Report 191 programme, NSFAS can help cover your tuition fees, accommodation, transport, and even learning materials. This makes it possible for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to focus on their studies without the heavy burden of financial stress.

For the 2026 academic year, students are encouraged to stay informed about NSFAS application deadlines, eligibility requirements, and supporting documents needed. The college offers support services to guide applicants through the process, ensuring that no student is left behind due to a lack of information or access to resources.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON NSFAS

Students enrolling for NC(V) programs are required to pay 25% of their fees on registration. However, students who provisionally qualify for a bursary will be exempted from paying this deposit. Students’ guardians/parents who do not pay their full class fees during registration will need to sign a contract to pay the outstanding fees for their program, according to college requirements and deadlines, and not rely on receiving a bursary. Bursary funds are limited and awarded according to strict pre-determined requirements. Students who do not receive bursaries will be liable for their outstanding student accounts.
