So I am a first year student registered in the Humanities faculty for a 3 year course and I want to change to a 4 year nursing course I am blank on how to apply for it and I am also worried that NSFAS Will not fund me are there even alternative ways to get funded
Shifting from a Humanities course to a Nursing course can be a significant step, and it’s great that you’re considering it. Here’s how you can proceed:
1. Contact the Institution: Reach out to your university’s admissions office to inquire about the process of changing your course. You’ll find official contact details on the universities directory.
2. Application Process: You’ll likely need to submit a new application for the Nursing course. Check if you’ll need to meet specific prerequisites or criteria for the programme.
3. NSFAS Concerns: NSFAS typically funds your first qualification. If funding a second qualification, especially a different field, it can be challenging. Clarify your eligibility with NSFAS directly.
4. Alternative Funding: Explore other funding options like bursaries or scholarships. Check our bursaries page for opportunities. Some institutions may also offer internal funding options.
Transitioning between courses can be smoother with proper guidance.
