Applications and funding

From course discovery to your application

Exploring universities in South Africa is only the first step. VX Course Match helps you compare study options and admission requirements before you apply. When you are ready, use the official university link and institution website for the latest university applications information and application deadlines.

Funding is separate from university admission. If you plan to apply for financial aid, complete any NSFAS application through the official NSFAS process and verify the current requirements and deadlines before submitting.

VX does not submit university or NSFAS applications on your behalf. Use Course Match to research your options, then apply for your chosen programmes through the relevant official application channels.
