Financial Aid
The Student Support Services staff do not administer student loans but will assist students that qualify to access the loans. The Western Cape government’s iKapa Elihlumayo project makes study loans available to FET college students. It is important to note that these are loans and not bursaries, and that the money granted has to be repaid in monthly instalments.
Student Support staff are now available on all campusses. Contact your nearest campus for more information.
