Nsfas Final Year Courses And Programme 2023-2024

 

 

Students in their final year of study who will be eligible to graduate at the conclusion of the year are eligible to receive funding under the Final Year Programme. In 2011, the President announced the creation of this unique funding initiative. The loan becomes a 100% bursary if you graduate during your final year. The Final Year Programme is only available to students once.
