The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a government bursary that provides tertiary funding to disadvantaged students, who wish to study at any of the 26 public universities or 50 TVET colleges in South Africa.
While you pursue your studies, NSFAS will take care of the financial burden that comes along with getting a tertiary education.
NSFAS funded students receive funding for their tuition, registration and they also receive allowances for their transport, living expenses and learning materials.
