Limpopo TVET Colleges Bursaries
- The Department of Higher Education and Training offers bursaries which are available for National Certificate Vocational courses and courses at public TVET Colleges to students who meet the criteria. These bursaries are not loans. The bursaries are administered by the National Student Financial Aid Service (NSFAS). Other bursaries are also available, which will vary from college to college. Prospective students should enquire at the college at which they plan to enrol as to what bursaries are available for the course that they would like to study.
- In 2015 approximately 200 000 students at TVET Colleges benefitted from DHET bursaries administered by NSFAS.
- Department of Higher Education and Training, TVET College bursaries that are administered by the NSFAS, are available but are subject to two important criteria:
- The prospective student will be required to undergo a ‘means test’ that will indicate that the student really does need financial assistance. A means test is not an actual test that you must be afraid of – it usually questions your personal situation in order to see if you are someone who must be assisted.
- That the student has a good academic performance record.
- Prospective students who believe that they may meet these criteria should contact their nearest public TVET College. The college will provide the application forms and oversee the application process.
Overview of TVET
- There are fifty registered and accredited public TVET Colleges in South Africa which operate on more than 264 campuses spread across the rural and urban areas of the country. Public TVET Colleges are established and operated under the authority of the Continuing Education and Training Act 16 of 2006 and report to the Department of Higher Education and Training. Each Province has an office that provides specialised professional support to the public TVET Colleges in that province.
- Public TVET Colleges are subsidised by the state with approximately R6 billion per year.
- There are more than 650 000 students in public TVET Colleges.
Modes of Delivery
Different colleges may offer qualifications in different ways – this is referred to as a ‘mode of delivery’. Some colleges also offer blended learning (e-learning) facilities for some course content. A number of the larger campuses have Open Learning Centres. Further information can be given by the college on this aspect when applying or enrolling for course admission.
What are these Qualifications Worth?
In an effort to ensure that courses are relevant to the needs of commerce and industry, public colleges go to great lengths to secure linkages and partnerships with key role-players in commerce and industry and with the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs). A number of colleges have a management division devoted to this aspect.
Job Shadowing and Practical Workplace Exposure
Public TVET colleges try as far as possible to facilitate job shadowing and practical workplace opportunities for top-performing students. Many campuses also operate simulated enterprises to augment the need for practical exposure related to the course of study.
International Exchange
In an increasingly globalised labour market, a number of public TVET Colleges have international partnerships with similar institutions in various parts of the world. This ensures that education and training is internationally benchmarked with best practice in diverse international settings

More on TVET Colleges
So great to see you thinking ahead!!! Very good spirit!
Chat to your school’s guidance teacher and speak to your principal, they can offer counselling to you and other matrics.
Contact the university and go in and see them during your second term, take your school report with you. Ask their advice.
Present yourself professionally and show that you are determined to succeed. People love a great attitude and will do their best to assist you.
Ask for assistance COMPLETING financial aid forms and have them ready for submission later in the year for when you need to apply. I’m saying get help from them completing the forms, they are often difficult to do so let them help you prepare them.
Let me know!
Best wishes to you!!!

Hi Shadrack! Content the NSFS by using the links provided in the post or contact the funders directly. When you write to them you must specify the programme, the campus and the amount or no one will take you seriously and they will ignore your request.Unless you’re already registered, please consider other options and try to find alternative opportunities to further your studies by looking for learnerships, apprenticeships and skills programmes. Best wishes, keep looking, keep climbing – you’ll get there if you keep moving in the right direction.
