Maluti FET College Bursaries



Maluti FET College Bursaries

The aim of the unit is to provide financial support to students who are academically performing yet financially needy.

1. IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE

The college does not offer bursaries to students but, the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) does via the DHET TVET Bursary scheme. National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) administers bursary applications on behalf of the DHET through TVET colleges.

No ONE is guaranteed the bursary. Only those who meet the set criteria by the DHET Bursary guideline 2015 will; subject to the availability of funds (The full copy of the guideline can be downloaded from www.nsfas.co.za)

Please respect the deadlines and submit the correctly completed forms with sufficient, truthful and valid documents to precipitate the processing of your forms.

2. CRITERIA FOR AWARDING BURSARIES

Only South African citizens are eligible for this bursary scheme

A student must be registered on an NC (V) at the college OR Report 191/NATED programme at the college.

Bursaries are awarded to academically deserving (good performance) yet financially needy (poor) students. Note that Means Test will be administered to every student to assess the financial neediness. This means that students who may qualify WILL NOT necessarily receive the same bursary amount.

3. MINIMUM DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

The campus at which you intend studying will provide you with list of documents required when applying for the bursary but, please note the following:

Certified copies of documents that are older than three months will not be accepted and your bursary forms will not be taken.

Salary advice slips of parents or guardian must not be older that three months or else, your bursary forms will not be taken.
