The National Student Financial Aid Scheme’s promise of a delay-free 2023 academic year has prompted several changes as well as the implementation of two new communication methods.

Thousands of students wanting to enrol in academic programmes at institutions of higher learning will require funding for their studies. Students who unsuccessfully applied for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme bursary now have an opportunity to submit an appeal.

Ever since the birth of the #FeesMustFall movement, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas) has gone from being a student loan to being a bursary that supports a great number of individuals that were in need of funding their tertiary qualification. However, the government bursary scheme strictly funds students who meet its eligibility criteria.

Student accommodation remains one of the most frustrating challenges students find themselves dealing with when entering or returning to tertiary institutions. Although the Department of Higher Education and Training, alongside NSFAS, have pledged to resolve some of the problems, there is still a long way to go.

In a matter of weeks, some public universities and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges will be concluding their registration period. However, the government bursary scheme is in the process of making sure that initial costs needed by these institutions are covered soonest.

Several announcements to the tertiary education sector, and TVET Colleges in particular, were made during Minister Blade Nzimande's annual address regarding the DHET's readiness for the 2023 academic year. 

Details highlighting the Department of Higher Education and Training's state of readiness have been revealed by Minister Blade Nzimande in his annual address. The Minister gave insight into when applicants will receive communication concerning their NSFAS applications.

As the 2022 matric learners prepare to receive their results, many are wondering about their Nsfas application status. Higher Education Minister, Blade Nzimande, has clarified some worries prospective students may have.

Nsfas has faced a number of challenges with the provision of student accommodation over the past few years. The bursary scheme is looking to change this by opening its doors to eligible student housing providers.   
 

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme ensures that thousands of students can obtain tertiary education without having to worry about the costs. However, a student union wants the bursary scheme to make provision for a greater number of students.

Education is viewed as one of the most important instruments to reduce poverty in South Africa. The government has committed to ensuring education is accessible to students, which they believe will have long-term benefits.

At the start of each academic year, students who have been assessed as unsuccessful by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme have the opportunity to submit an appeal disputing the scheme’s funding decision.

As a new academic year begins, thousands of students will be eligible for bursaries provided by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. The scheme has announced several changes which will have an impact on funding for students.

As the new academic year begins, thousands of students will be receiving National Student Financial Aid Scheme allowance payments. The financial aid scheme wants to ensure funded students receive their money securely.   

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme has announced that it plans to make improvements aimed at making the 2023 academic year run smoothly in the coming months. This is part of the bursary scheme’s plan to address issues that usually rise during this time of year.

Thousands of students have submitted funding applications to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme for the 2023 academic year. The scheme expects many more students to apply for funding as the application period approaches its conclusion.

With the 2023 academic year so close, the Department of Higher Education and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme are preparing for another year. Thousands of students each year are funded through Nsfas bursaries.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme, what we call Nsfas, has disbursed millions of bursaries since it's inception to millions of South Africans who come from poor and working class backrgrounds. They are now being urged to do more.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme, or NSFAS, has officially closed their doors, for now. Applications do however remain open so here's where and how to apply.

There has been a growing demand for student accommodation in public universities and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges. A new system is to be implemented to meet this demand.
