The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is no stranger to controversy and allegations of fraud, corruption and maladministration. Now, the CEO of the bursary scheme may be soon placed under investigation after criminal complaints were laid against him.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme provides NSFAS bursaries to students who come from poor and working class backgrounds. Here we'll be giving you the NSFAS requirements for Unisa students.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme has established a new payment method students can use to access their monthly allowances. University students have been advised to open a NSFAS bank account to conveniently receive their allowances.

More than one million students have been approved for funding from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme for the 2023 academic year. University students will receive their allowances from the financial aid scheme differently in the coming months. 

While more than one million students will receive a comprehensive bursary from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, thousands of students were unsuccessful when they applied for the bursary. Many of these students submitted an appeal application in the hope of securing funding for the current academic year. 
 

More than 1 million students will receive comprehensive funding from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme during the 2023 academic year. However, many students that applied for funding will not receive the comprehensive bursary for the current academic year.

Obtaining a higher education is a significant investment, and some students in the country rely on student loans to finance their studies. However, inflation can have a profound effect on the affordability and repayment of these loans.

If you are a TVET College student and have yet to apply for Trimester 2 funding through NSFAS, make sure to complete your application as soon as possible. Take advantage of this opportunity to secure the financial assistance you need for your education.

NSFAS has recently made an important announcement, as it has released the much-anticipated funding list for the 2023 academic year. This list, which includes both returning students and first-time students, aims to provide clarity and transparency regarding the financial aid recipients.

Every year, the NSFAS bursary is granted to disadvantaged South African students who are pursuing their studies at public higher education institutions. Financial aid is provided to both university and TVET college students.

Funding from the government bursary scheme is provided to thousands of deserving students every year. However, all students submitting applications may not be eligible for financial aid or may lose their funding due to academic circumstances. 

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme established a payment method to help its bursary recipients access their monthly student allowances. Students will be accessing these funds through a bank account.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme wants to take action against student accommodation providers. This comes as many students cannot afford to pay some accommodation costs while the financial aid scheme introduced a policy limiting how much they will contribute to a student's accommodation costs.

When it comes to NSFAS funding, student accommodation is a constant topic each year, as it brings attention to the Department of Higher Education’s ability to deliver. However, the department maintains that it is taking the necessary measures to address this.
 

South Africa is facing a growing demand to access higher education. The Department of Higher Education has indicated that they expect their NSFAS budget allocation to increase over the next few years.

Every year, different departments present their budgets to Parliament and a Budget Vote is taken. This year, during the Department of Higher Education's Budget Vote, Minister of the Department, Blade Nzimande, spoke on what the plans are for student funding.

Thousands of households in South Africa cannot afford to absorb the cost of tertiary education for a student. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme aims to ensure that students from these households can pursue their tertiary education goals. However, some students who qualify for funding have been rejected from receiving the comprehensive bursary.

Messages circulating on social media have claimed that the National Student Financial Aid Scheme opened bursary applications for the next academic year. This left many prospective applicants gathering the required documents to apply for funding.

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students have just a few hours left to apply for a bursary from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. Trimester 2 applications will close on Monday.

NSFAS funded students are due to receive their allowance payments soon, but the bursary scheme requires all beneficiaries to follow their specified registration process. Allowance disbursements will be carried out differently for certain students.
