NSFAS-funded students registered at public universities and TVET colleges can now make their NSFAS laptop application 2021 via a student Digital Learning Device Online Order portal.

“All NSFAS-funded students who require a device can visit www.nsfas.org.za, click myNSFAS, and click the Online Order portal to place an order. To complete the order, students need to agree to the terms and conditions,” Mncwabe said.

In addition, the portal will require the following information for the NSFAS laptop application 2021:

• Name of the institution they are registered at;
• Campus name and home address.

Students who are not funded by NSFAS but who need a laptop should consult their institutions.

According to Mncwabe, these students will be responsible for paying for the laptop they receive from their institution. As such, they need to agree to the institution’s repayment terms.

Consultations

Mncwabe said consultations with universities started soon after Higher Education Minister Dr Blade Nzimande issued a directive for NSFAS to expedite issuance of laptops to students.

“Consultations with the university sector have neared completion allowing university NSFAS-funded students to commence ordering their devices through our portal,” she said.

“We are speedily continuing with the TVET consultation to enable college NSFAS-funded students to also submit their orders online.”
