If you are identified as a beneficiary of the  Nsfas scheme, a monthly student allowance will be given to you. It should be mentioned that the payments of these allowances normally start as soon as academic activities pick back up. Therefore, you might need patience if your school is still out for the summer. These allowances are nonetheless paid in cash. As a student, you can receive payment directly using NSFAS Wallet, or your school may do so. The Nsfas bursary provides students funding for various expenses, including registration fees, tuition fees, housing, transportation, textbooks, and more.
