The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is a program run by the South African government that offers financial aid to undergraduate students to assist in covering the cost of their higher education after they graduate from high school.

The Scheme operates under the auspices of DHET, one of the South African government’s departments. Department of Higher Education and Training supervises South African universities, colleges, and other post-secondary institutions.

The Nsfas funds have made it possible for every South African to afford to pay for their education without strain. Some students are bright academically, but because of financial hardship, some abandon and end up on the streets. Online applications are required for the NSFAS.
