Criteria for fund application
Due to funding limitations, postgraduate applications thought the NSFAF home page are subject to the criteria below:
- Awards will be given to those studying towards priority fields of studies (priority fields will be made available on our website, www.nsfaf.na, in due course)
- Applicants should have not received more than two funding opportunities from NSFAF.
- Total combined debt may not exceed N$350,000 (previous debt plus loan to be awarded).
- If you have previously benefited, you will be requested to attach an acknowledgement of debts and/or proof of repayment arrangement, before an award can be issued.
- Applicants are subjected to vetting with employment status (including self-employment).
Only a set of the pre-determined fee will be committed, subject to the availability of funds.
Students will be provisionally awarded provided the applicant meets the fund’s basic funding requirements.
All applicants will be required to apply online.
Due dates are final and will not be extended.
NSFAF Application and loan contract compulsory
The fund will NOT make fee payment to any students without an application and loan contract. Therefore, the fund wants to remind those at Vocational Training and Education institutions to apply.
