The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a South African government programme that provides financial assistance to eligible students from low-income backgrounds. NSFAS offers bursaries and loans to cover tuition fees, accommodation, living expenses, and learning materials.
When applying for NSFAS, you must submit several supporting documents. Without these documents, your application will be incomplete. One essential document is the SARS consent form.
What is the SARS Consent Form for NSFAS?
The SARS consent form allows NSFAS to obtain information from government agencies to determine your funding eligibility. This information is confidential and focuses on your parents' or guardians' employment status and income.
