when will nsfas start funding for 2024-2025

In order to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds afford higher education, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) was established in 1996. This article aims to keep you informed by covering all aspects of the NSFAS payment schedule for 2024. We last checked, and the number of annual NSFAS applications—students applying for funding each year—was over 750,000.

• The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has confirmed that it has granted institutions across the national funding for the academic year.
• Based on the registration records that the scheme has gathered, NSFAS has revealed that it has received its first budget allocation from National Treasury and has since distributed funding to institutions.
• From Friday, April 8, the Scheme will begin processing payments to institutions and distributing student allowances.
• They stated, “All official communication regarding the allowance payment process has been sent to all institutions.” NSFAS will pay the institutions that met the approved NSFAS Eligibility Criteria and Conditions for Financial Aid in 2024.
• When disbursing funds to students, the NSFAS has urged educational establishments to adhere to the funding guidelines outlined in the schemes’ Eligibility Criteria and Conditions for Financial Aid.
• For eligible students, the NSFAS bursary covers tuition, housing, food, transportation, a textbook allowance, the cost of learning materials, and registration fees.
• These students must be attending either a public university or a college for technical and vocational education and training (TVET), and they must meet all of the requirements.

• Students approved applications for the nsfas bursary are included in the funding lists. The nsfas bursary typically opens for applications in the fourth quarter of the year and closes in January. NSFAS typically makes available the funding lists within the first ten days of February, following the January application period. As a result, we anticipate that the funding list—the list of approved students—will be made public in February 2023.
