Applications for the ISFAP Bursary 2027 are open to eligible students seeking financial assistance for university studies in South Africa. The Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme (ISFAP) focuses on students from financially constrained households, particularly those in the "missing middle" who may earn too much to qualify for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) but cannot comfortably afford higher education. According to the published 2027 bursary information, applications close on 31 October 2026. Prospective applicants should prepare their supporting documents, confirm that their intended qualification and university are supported, and complete the online application before the deadline. The programme is designed to support students pursuing qualifications linked to occupations in high demand and skills considered important to South Africa's economic development.
