Where to Obtain the SARS Consent Form for Your NSFAS Application
NSFAS provides financial support to help students who cannot afford higher education access the funds they need. As part of the application process, students are required to submit various documents, one of which is the SARS consent form.
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a South African government initiative that offers bursaries and loans to eligible students from low-income families. This funding covers tuition fees, accommodation, living expenses, and learning materials.
Why is the SARS Consent Form for NSFAS Needed?
To assess your eligibility for funding, NSFAS must verify your parents’ or guardians’ income and employment status through government agencies, including SARS (South African Revenue Service). By signing the SARS consent form, you give NSFAS permission to access this confidential information, which is crucial for determining whether you qualify for financial aid.
How to Get the SARS Consent Form
You can download the SARS consent form directly from the NSFAS website under the section titled “NSFAS 2024 Supporting Documents.” Once downloaded, fill it out and submit it along with your application.
Alternatively, when completing your application via the myNSFAS portal, you’ll encounter a consent section that prompts you to submit the form. Make sure to log into your myNSFAS account to upload all required documents, including the SARS consent form, to ensure your application is complete.
