University can be expensive. From tuition and registration fees to accommodation, meals, and textbooks, there's a lot to cover. These expenses can place a significant financial burden on students and their families, potentially hindering access to higher education.

As the Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme has opened their applications, our sister site, The Careers Portal, took a chance to sit down with them to chat about all things ISFAP. Some things discussed were ISFAP 2024 applications, what the bursary covers and what ISFAP’s goals for this year are.

With institutions of Higher Education increasing the cost of tuition and registration fees every year, thousands of students have trouble securing funding to pay for their fees. Government has revealed plans that aim to address this.

Students who fall within the missing middle category should take note that the Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme will soon open funding applications for the 2024 academic year. It is important for students to be enrolled in approved courses in order to be eligible for funding.

There is a group of students who cannot afford to pay the costs of tertiary education and do not qualify for the government bursary. These students are known as the missing middle, and they can apply for this bursary. 

Several bursary schemes seek to ensure these students are not left behind and can achieve academic success. This as the cost of tertiary education often prevents many students from achieving their full potential and academic goals.
