National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS)

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a government program in South Africa that provides financial support to students from low-income families to help cover their education expenses. It offers funding for university and technical college students, including tuition, accommodation, and study materials. Applicants undergo an application process to determine their eligibility based on income and other criteria. NSFAS aims to make higher education more accessible by reducing financial barriers, fostering equitable opportunities for students to pursue their studies and improve their future prospects.
