Are you a NSFAS-funded student at a TVET college? Don’t miss out on your May 2025 payments. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has released key information regarding TVET student allowance and accommodation payments for May 2025. These payments are influenced by banking institution processing times, so it’s essential to stay updated.
According to the latest update, NSFAS is processing accommodation payments for May 2025. These funds will be transferred directly to accommodation providers and not to the students themselves.
The exact date depends on each provider’s banking institution and how quickly they process the payment.
In a separate announcement, NSFAS confirmed that student allowances—which may include transport, meal, and personal care allowances—will be disbursed during a slightly shorter window.
Again, the timing depends on the bank’s processing time, so some students may receive funds earlier than others.
Both posters emphasize the importance of updating your banking information. Incorrect or outdated banking details can delay or block your NSFAS payments.
Payment Type | Who Receives It | Payment Dates | What You Need to Do |
Accommodation Fees | Accommodation Providers | 23 – 26 May 2025 | No action unless contacted by NSFAS |
Student Allowances | TVET College Students | 23 – 25 May 2025 | Ensure banking details are up-to-date |
These updates were officially issued by NSFAS and apply to all eligible TVET college students funded by the scheme. To avoid confusion and ensure accurate information, always refer to the official NSFAS channels.
