e) Bursary Management Ms D Christians: Manager Bursaries led the presentation which highlighted the following key issues: . The college received allocation from National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). In 2012, the college received R15 million which was not sufficient to provide for all the needy students. It made a special request from NSFAS and received additional allocation of R3 million to assist students who could not be catered for in the first allocation. The college's provisional bursary allocation for 2013 was R18.4 million. . Owing to limited funding, not all students who applied for the bursary were successful. Selection of NSFAS bursary beneficiaries was done through the Means Test. Students with NSFAS bursary were required to pass all their subjects with attendance rate of 80% in classes. . Besides NSFAS bursary, the college received funding for bursaries from Eskom, Estelle and Wholesale and Retail SETA to assist financially needy students who were not covered by NSFAS. Performance and attendance was considered when allocating this bursary. Students were liable for outstanding fees which the bursary did not cover. . Foreign students were also assisted financially through the college bursaries from other sources because NSFAS was only meant to assist South African students. . Students who qualified for financial assistance were exempted from paying registration fees. . Telecard (Financial Management Company) was appointed to administer NSFAS funding for the college to minimise corrupt practices and the company did not charge the college for this service.
