That is, arranging for all the documents needed for the NSFAS application. These documents are required to verify the details students provide on the application form.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the documents must be certified and clearly scanned. They should also not be older than three months. If these requirements are not met, the application could be rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of the required essential documents for the DHET application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Proof of Identity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An important document is proof of who you are. This helps to determine that you are a citizen, since government bursaries are only awarded to nationals. These documents are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students must submit a certified copy of their South African ID or permanent residency permit.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If an ID is not available, a birth certificate might be used.

Parent\/Guardian\u2019s Identification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students applying for the bursary who are not yet of legal age need to provide additional documents.

Household Proof of Income<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the DHET bursary is need-based, it is important to submit correct proof of income papers. This helps to confirm the need. Proof of income documents include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recent payslips, employment letters or tax returns of employed parents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pension slips or an affidavit declaring unemployment for students whose parents are unemployed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A financial statement or an affidavit with income details for self-employed parents and guardians.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/lp\/bachelor-of-business-administration?utm_source=bba_blog&amp;utm_medium=bba_banner&amp;utm_campaign=study_bba_online&amp;utm_content=dhet-bursary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"794\" height=\"416\" data-src=\"https:\/\/reginsights.regenesys.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BBA-Programme-Banners-4.webp\" alt=\"BBA in South Africa\" class=\"wp-image-190284 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BBA-Programme-Banners-4.webp 794w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BBA-Programme-Banners-4-300x157.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BBA-Programme-Banners-4-80x42.webp 80w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BBA-Programme-Banners-4-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BBA-Programme-Banners-4-150x79.webp 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 794px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 794\/416;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Application_Steps_for_the_DHET_Bursary\"><\/span>Application Steps for the DHET Bursary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the documents required for the DHET application are ready, students can proceed to complete the application form.
