Process
How to apply for a grant
The same three-step pattern fits SASSA, NSFAS, FLISP, IDC, and most other programmes.
01
Check eligibility
Read the income and ID requirements first — most rejections happen here. Use our checklists to confirm before you start.
02
Gather documents
ID, proof of address, three months of bank statements, payslips or SARS notice — every programme uses a similar core set.
03
Submit & track
Apply on the official portal, save the reference number, and check status weekly. We link to every official tracker.
Pro tip
Save digital copies of every document in one folder before applying. You'll re-use the same set across SASSA, NSFAS, and FLISP.
