Unisa Overview

Unisa is the largest open distance learning institution in Africa and the longest standing dedicated distance education university in the world. Nearly one-third of all South African students are enrolled.

Founded in 1873 as the University of the Cape of Good Hope, the institution became the first public university in the world to teach exclusively by means of distance education in 1946. Throughout the years, Unisa was perhaps the only university in South Africa to have provided all people with access to education, irrespective of race, colour or creed. This vibrant past is mirrored in the history, more particularly the massive and impressive database of alumni, some of whom are to be found in the most senior levels of society across the world.

Unisa today can truly claim to be the African universities in the service of humanity.They adapt quickly to the fast-paced higher education environment of the 21st century and reflected in their management style and leadership practice. In addition, one of their main aims is to harness the new and emerging potential in information and communication technology to catapult the university into a truly digital future.

Unisa offer an unparalleled range of study choices, ranging from short courses and certificate programmes to three-and four-year degrees and diplomas. As one of the leading research institutions on the continent, they have received and won numerous awards, recognitions and honours.

NSFAS Overview

NSFAS, with a motto of Tomorrow Starts Now an efficient and effective provider of financial aid to students from poor and working class families in a sustainable manner that promotes access to, and success in, higher and further education and training in pursuit of South Africa’s national and human resource development goals.

National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a statutory body, funded primarily by the South African National Department of Education and Training, which provides study loans to academically able but financially needy students who wish to study at one of South Africa’s public institutions of higher education. NSFAS assists students who have the academic potential to succeed at university and who qualify in terms of the NSFAS Means Test for financial aid.

The mission statement is made up of three distinct elements which describe why NSFAS exists, what they do, and the impact on their constituency:

1.    NSFAS exists to provide financial aid to eligible students at public TVET colleges and public universities.

2.    NSFAS identifies eligible students, provides loans and bursaries and collects student loan repayments to replenish the funds available for future generations of students.

3.    NSFAS supports access to, and success in, higher education and training for students from poor and working-class families who would otherwise not be able to afford to study.

A variety of NSFAS bursaries exist, each with its own criteria. A NSFAS bursary is an award that a student receives upon application for such funding. This bursary award does not have to be repaid, if the student, however, does not wish to adhere to the bursary conditions such br

ursary is reverted to a loan. This loan will have to be repaid with interest.
