NSFAS November 2025 Payment
NSFAS November 2025 Payment: Everything Students Need to Know Before Month-End
Hey, fellow students! If you’re glued to your phone waiting for that magical “NSFAS paid” SMS, you’re not alone. November 2025 is here, and the NSFAS November 2025 payment is the hottest topic on every campus WhatsApp group. I dug into the official NSFAS media statement (dated 12 March 2025) plus the latest portal timelines so you don’t have to. Here’s the plain-English breakdown—perfect for sharing with your res mates.
1. Yes, Your November Money Is Coming—Here’s When
NSFAS runs like clockwork once institutions upload your registration data. The November 2025 payment falls under Instalment 11:
- Cut-off for changes: 14 November 2025
- Money hits institutions: 28 November 2025
- Your wallet: Usually 2–5 working days later (think 1–3 December)
Pro tip: Screenshot your student portal on 14 Nov. If it still says “funded”, you’re golden.
2. How Much Will Land in Your Capitec or Bank Account?
The 2025 allowance caps are LOCKED. Here are the numbers every student screenshots:

| TVET Non-Catered Non-Metro | R42,640 | R17,160 | ≈ R4,983 |
