NSFAS is a bursary that covers many different expenses, but is a laptop included in a NSFAS bursary?
NSFAS is a rather popular financial solution should you have trouble paying for your higher education fees. The NSFAS bursary covers so much more than just your tuition fees. The question does stand, do they provide students with laptop as well?
NSFAS, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, funds students for their studies from money they receieve from the government. If you are funded by NSFAS, not only will your studies but also further funding for other expenses.
With regards to how long NSFAS funds their students, it depends on the duration of your course or degree. Most degrees take about 3 to 4 years, whereas medical degrees for example take up to 7 years. And if you fail one year, NSFAS has granted students an extra year of funding.
As a NSFAS funded student, or in general, you may be curious as to how NSFAS ensures that students funded before 2018 pay back their loan.
Students funded after that date will be a bit confused! Do you have to pay back NSFAS? The good news for recent beneficiaires of NSFAS is that it is now a grant and you do not have to pay anything back.
NSFAS funds South African students at public universities. Since UNISA is a distance learning institution, how much do UNISA students get from NSFAS for their allowances?

N refers to the minimum number of years allocated by the institution to complete the qualification a student is registered for. The +2 refers to an additional 2 years that NSFAS includes for the number of years they will fund a student.
