Tertiary education is expensive and without financial support in the form of bursary or student loan, many students will not attend an institution of higher learning
NSFAS provides students from poor and working-class backgrounds with funding if they are attending a public university or Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college in South Africa.

Here’s what an 'Appeal Approved' NSFAS Status Means
