NSFAS Deadline 2024-2025

What is the NSFAS monthly allowance for 2024; NSFAS Deadline 2024-2025

If a student plans to enrol in a public university or college in 2024, they can now apply for financial aid under the National Student Financial Aid Scheme.  Since TVET colleges and the other 26 public institutions only accept students from a particular economic background, the government organisation NSFAS offers loans and scholarships to help these students enrol. If a student is eligible for assistance through the National Student Aid Scheme, they must submit their 2024 applications by the National Student Aid Scheme closing date (NSFAS). As scheduled, the NSFAS Portal will close at 11:59 PM on January 31, 2024.
