Apply for NSFAS funding and make your 2020 academic journey comfortable
The South African Government is aware most households struggle to pay the hefty academic costs for their kids to complete their desired qualifications. This is why the NSFAS is tasked with ensuring that no deserving student is barred from achieving their dreams due to their poor financial background. NSFAS administers funding for potential professionals from poor and working-class families who can’t afford study fees on behalf of the Department of Higher Education, Science and Technology.
