How much money does NSFAS give to students; What Does NSFAS Cover

Funds for the academic year 2024 will be disbursed by NSFAS. The new payment method will be used for the distribution of NSFAS allowances. Students need to be aware of what to anticipate from NSFAS allowance payments at all times. Approximately one million Tertiary students across the country will receive support for the 2024–2025 academic year under the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). This includes financially aided students enrolled in public universities and TVET colleges around the country. Registration fees, tuition, and many allowances are given to students who are awarded the NSFAS bursary. Nevertheless, the amount of each allowance varies based on the school attended.
