How To Apply For A Laptop At NSFAS 2025-2026

Students seeking higher education need to have access to technology. Eligible students can purchase laptops as part of their support through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) Laptop project is a program designed to give South African students financial support so they can buy laptops for their academic studies.

The government-funded NSFAS program assists eligible students in covering the cost of their higher education, including living expenses, study materials, and tuition. This is a thorough guide on how to apply for a laptop through NSFAS for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Who May Receive A Laptop From NSFAS?

To qualify for an NSFAS laptop, you have to:

  • Only students who are now receiving NSFAS assistance are eligible to order the laptop.
  • Students need to be registered to take classes at a public university or TVET college.
  • Students are required to sign the T&Cs while ordering the laptop.
  • Students cannot already have a laptop from TVET or their college.

Who Can’t Get An NSFAS Laptop?

The following candidates are not eligible to apply for NSFAS Laptops:

  • Students whose postsecondary institution has already provided them with a laptop but who are not currently getting NSFAS funds
  • Students receive laptops with their enrolling package.
  • Trimester 1 students at TVET colleges who ordered a laptop but did not sign the T&Cs

How To Apply For A Laptop At NSFAS 2025-2026

To order an NSFAS Laptop device online,

  • Step 1: Register:

NSFAS-funded TVET students include: You must be a continuing student who was enrolled in 2023 and is presently enrolled in 2024.
NSFAS-funded students at universities: You must be registered to study at any public university; both first-time entering and continuing students may apply for a learning device.

  • Step 2: Complete the DLD form:

Collect, complete, and return the Digital Learning Device (DLD) form to your campus’s Financial Aid Office (FAO). Order your laptop using the DLD online order portal at www.nsfas.org.za. NSFAS and your university will validate your information as well as your order.

  • Step 3: Collection:

Following the completion of the verification procedure, an order for your laptop will be placed with our service providers to send the item for delivery. When your laptop is ready, the laptop service provider or your institution will contact you to schedule collection/delivery.

Remember that after you have been contacted for delivery and pickup of the device, no one may accept or collect it on your behalf; you must be there and sign before it is given over to you.

  • Step 4: Identification

You must produce your ID/birth certificate and proof of academic registration/student card from your institution before receiving your device.

  • Step 5: Agree to the terms and conditions

You will be required to agree to the terms and conditions as set out by your institution before receiving your learning device.

  • Step 6: Laptop payment:

Non-NSFAS-funded students who require a device should consult their institutions as they will remain responsible for the payment of the device and must therefore agree to the payment terms as defined by the institution.

NOTE: As an NSFAS-funded student, you must present a valid ID, proof of registration (or student card), and sign the acknowledgement receipt of the digital learning equipment upon delivery. You will also need to agree to the device’s terms and conditions as given out by your university/college.
