The NSFAS bursary helps students who want to further their education by subsidising the cost of attending any public university or college in South Africa to pursue specified degrees. For students who deserve it, this lessens their burden of student debt. To be eligible to receive money to help with their tuition fee and other study-related costs, eligible students must complete the NSFAS online application via the online application form portal.
The main purpose of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is to enable young people from poor households to obtain a higher education. This is essential for expanding South Africa’s skills base and a powerful mechanism for breaking the intergenerational cycle of household poverty and exclusion.
