Capricorn TVET College: NSFAS 2026 Semester 2 Funding – Apply by 17 July

Capricorn TVET College has announced that NSFAS online applications for the 2026 TVET Semester 2 intake are now open, and you need to act fast to secure funding.

What the opportunity is

NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) will fund eligible TVET students for the second semester of 2026. The money can cover tuition, books, transport and living expenses.

Who can apply

Only students who will start a TVET programme in Semester 2 of 2026 may apply. You must be a South African citizen, meet the household income criteria, and be enrolled at a recognised TVET college.

When you start the application, select the correct process cycle:

• Semester 2 students – choose **Semester 2**.
• Occupational Qualification – second intake – choose **OQ2**.

Choosing the wrong cycle means your application will be ignored.

What you gain

Successful applicants receive:

• Full or partial tuition fees.
• Allowance for books and study material.
• Travel and living cost support.

This support lets you focus on learning without the stress of money.
