The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has played a role in supporting South African students from low-income households in their pursuit of higher education. As the 2025 academic year approaches, many students and prospective applicants are eager to know if NSFAS will extend its funding program. With the growing demand for financial assistance and ongoing challenges in the education sector, the possibility of NSFAS continuing or even expanding its support for 2025 is a pressing question for students, parents, and institutions alike.

South African students who missed the closing date for submitting their applications for financial aid under the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) for 2024 can breathe with relief. The government financial aid organisation has confirmed that it has chosen to extend the deadline and provide eager students with an additional chance to apply.

The application date for 2025 Nsfas will be open from the 21st of November 2024 and will be closing on the 15th of December 2024. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme would like to inform all students and unfunded students that the deadline for applications for student financial aid may be extended to December 15th, 2024.
