Here, we\u2019re looking at how a late application works with TUT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s an 11th-hour scramble for places \u2013 as well as switches to other university courses \u2013 due to Jacob Zuma\u2019s grand announcement that university education will be free from 2018 onwards. Students who previously couldn\u2019t afford tertiary learning, or to undertake a certain course, now have a glimmer of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s going to be a manic week for universities all across South Africa, but TUT is a university expecting one of the highest volumes of applicants. If you are thinking of taking on a degree, it\u2019s certainly not too late\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tshwane University of Technology late application:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can we walk-in to apply?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The university has issued a strict \u2018no walk-ins\u2019 policy, and encourages students to apply online via www.tut.ac.za. There is no guarantee that you will be able to use campus IT facilities should you turn up on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prospective students can also submit applications for study through the Central Application System (CAPS) on&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:cach.dhet@gov.za\">cach.dhet@gov.za<\/a>\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the deadline to apply for TUT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With official registration beginning on Monday 15th January, students only have until Friday 12th January to apply for their chosen course. With just a few days before the deadline, this really is your last chance to sign up for the 2018 school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many students can apply for TUT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to its official website, the Tshwane institution has taken just over 100,000 applications.

NSFAS provides financial aid in the form of <strong>bursaries and loans<\/strong> to qualifying students at public universities and TVET colleges in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>This guide will walk you through <strong>everything you need to know about the NSFAS loan application process<\/strong>, from eligibility requirements to application steps and frequently asked questions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\ud83d\udccc What is NSFAS?<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS)<\/strong> is a government-funded financial aid scheme aimed at helping students from low- and middle-income households to access tertiary education without the burden of upfront fees.<\/p>\n<p>NSFAS <strong>offers both bursaries and income-contingent loans<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bursaries<\/strong>: For eligible students who meet academic and household income criteria (especially for TVET and university students).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loans<\/strong>: For students who do not meet all bursary criteria or who are pursuing postgraduate qualifications not funded under bursary schemes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u2705 Who Qualifies for an NSFAS Loan?<\/h2>\n<p>To qualify for an NSFAS loan (especially for postgraduate students or programs not funded under the bursary system), you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be a <strong>South African citizen<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Be <strong>financially needy<\/strong>, with a household income of <strong>less than R350,000 per year<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Have a <strong>valid South African ID<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Be <strong>enrolled or accepted<\/strong> to study at a <strong>public university or TVET college<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Not be funded through another bursary program that covers all expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain satisfactory <strong>academic progress<\/strong> (returning students).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\ud83d\udcda Courses Funded by NSFAS<\/h2>\n<p>NSFAS primarily funds <strong>undergraduate qualifications<\/strong>, but certain <strong>postgraduate programs (e.g., PGCE, postgraduate diplomas in education, and professional courses like LLB)<\/strong> may be considered under the <strong>NSFAS loan scheme<\/strong>, not bursaries.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re studying:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Undergraduate degree or diploma<\/strong>: You are likely eligible for a full NSFAS bursary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Postgraduate study<\/strong>: You may qualify for a loan, depending on the course and funding availability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\ud83d\udcc4 Required Documents for NSFAS Application<\/h2>\n<p>When applying, make sure you have the following
