NSFAS With UNISA 2024
Who qualifies for NSFAS at Unisa; NSFAS With UNISA 2024
The search for knowledge or academic success should never be limited 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 before the end of January 2024.
