Register For Funds At Nsfas 2023-2024
Do you wish to study or are already studying at a public university or TVET college but come from a family with an income of R350 000 or less, then register for Nsfas? The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is a programme 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 which is one of the South African government’s departments. Department of Higher Education and Training is responsible for supervising South African universities, colleges and other post-secondary institutions.
Some students are good academically but due to financial difficulty, some become dropouts and end up on the streets, but with the help of the Nsfas funds, every South African can now afford to pay for their education without stress. All Nsfas applications are done online.
