How To Apply For NSFAS Last Chance Applications
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is giving students who are registered but unfunded a second chance for a NSFAS bursary. Here's how it works.
NSFAS opened up the period of 18 August until 3 September for students to apply for this special funding window. Here's how to apply.
Applications for this round are however not exactly the same as usual as students cannot directly apply through the NSFAS website.
How To Submit NSFAS Applications
- Contact your University's Financial Aid Office to find out if you qualify and can apply
