How much does NSFAS give Unisa students per month in 2024, How Often NSFAS Fund Unisa Students

The search for knowledge or academic success should never be impeded by financial limitations. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), which recognises this basic principle, enables hundreds of bright minds to pursue higher education. Students enrolled in the University of South Africa’s (Unisa) distance learning programme benefit from the NSFAS, which provides the necessary funding to make dreams come true. Applications for the NSFAS Bursary from UNISA students are accepted starting in October 2023 and must be submitted by January 2024, and applicants have to know how often NSFAS will fund UNISA Students.
