Applicants are encouraged to apply online at applyonline.isfap.org.za.
"The online platform is designed to guide students through the application process, ensuring that all required documents are correctly submitted. Applicants should regularly check their emails for updates on their application status," Isfap says.
Isfap says that since its launch following the #FeesMustFall movement, it has funded over 3,500 students, covering tuition fees, accommodation, books, laptops, stipends, and psychosocial support, ensuring that students receive a well-rounded educational experience.
"The programme not only focuses on academic excellence but also provides mental health support, life skills training, and financial literacy programmes, helping students thrive in all aspects of university life.
"Isfap was established to bridge the financial gap for students whose family incomes are too high to qualify for NSFAS funding, but too low to afford tertiary education independently (the 'missing middle').
"Although the programme specifically targets missing middle students who have a household income of between R350,000 and R600,000 per annum, it also accommodates unfunded students who have a household income of between R0 and R600,000 per annum.
"Isfap funds their higher education in fields identified as critical to South Africa's economic development.
"These include actuarial science, engineering, medicine and nursing, computer and data science, chartered accountancy, and other occupations in high demand, as defined by the human resources development council," Isfap says.
