Last year, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme put forth several policy changes to ensure smooth operations during the 2023 academic year. However, the late release of matric results has prompted concerns on whether it would delay funding outcomes.

Do you want to further your studies but lack funding to pay your tuition fees? If yes, you might want to consider applying for the Department of Higher Education (DHET) bursary. Here's how you can go about applying online.

The cost of tertiary education can prevent thousands of students from obtaining a tertiary education qualification. Bursaries ensure that students don’t have to worry about these costs, however, students must meet certain requirements to qualify for a DHET bursary.

Thousands of students will choose to enroll in academic programmes at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in 2022. Colleges offer several courses that will allow students to do this but it's important to know that these courses come at a cost.

As the 2023 academic year commences, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme has promised students a delay-free year and aims to do so with several initiatives, including a new student accommodation portal.

A number of universities have opened registrations for the 2023 academic year, and it is during this time that student protests are also on the rise. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme has shared how it plans to improve for the coming months. 

Nsfas has notoriously had many problems with its execution, particularly when it comes to distributing allowances to students. However, the financial aid provider is preparing to solve these issues, as the 2023 academic year is soon approaching. 

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme opens its applications annually, giving hopeful applicants a chance to apply to have their tuition covered by the government.  The financial aid scheme recently revealed that it is currently working on improving a number of factors about its application process. 

As Nsfas gears up for the fast approaching 2023 academic year, a lot of information has to undergo processing. Part of this information, includes the number of appeals Nsfas has to sort through.

Since the National Student Financial Aid Scheme became a bursary, many students have benefitted from it. With many students continuing to apply for funding each year, the bursary scheme has to plan ahead to accommodate successful applicants. 

Nsfas has recently revealed the number of students who have submitted their applications for funding for the 2023 academic year. However, a number of applications were also withdrawn, due to students changing their minds for various reasons. 

It was five years ago when university students across the country participated in the #FeesMustFall movement, voicing their desire to have a fee-free Higher Education system. To date, many of students have benefitted from government subsidised funding.

South Africa's group of students known as the "missing middle" are still at the short end of the stick when it comes to gaining access to tertiary education, particularly when it comes to securing financial aid. One student organisation is lobbying for NSFAS to help solve this problem.

Proposed policy changes by the National Student Financial Scheme have raised concerns among stakeholders in the tertiary education sector. The bursary scheme has come under scrutiny over its readiness to implement the amendments with the stakeholders questioning its timing. 
 

The Nsfas student accommodation portal is ready for accommodation providers to upload their accommodation facilities for Nsfas beneficiaries to consider.  

It appears that scammers hiding behind the Nsfas brand have struck gold and stole thousands of rands from an unsuspecting student's funding account. This is how they managed to pull it off.  

Wondering why Nsfas applicants who aren't reliant on their parents/guardians for their education funds should complete the Non-Sassa Declaration Form? Here is all you need to know.

Nsfas has reportedly spent over a billion Rand in order to fix the countless problems students endure when it comes to securing accommodation during their studies. The government bursary scheme now plans on correcting a few issues, including how the money is to be spent.

After site visits to student accommodation facilities, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme was obliged to improve the situation by using a hands-on approach. Several challenges faced by students led to the financial aid scheme's decision.

Thousands of students receive bursaries from  the National Student Financial Aid Scheme every year. Losing this funding could be disastrous for students as many would be unable to complete their qualifications with the bursary.
