NSFAS assures beneficiaries that funding won’t be delayed

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has assured beneficiaries that monthly stipends, book allowances, and accommodation funds won’t be delayed.

Last year thousands of students at several universities and T-Vet colleges were left stranded due to the scheme’s failure to pay allowances on time.

NSFAS recently sent over R3-billion to institutions entrusting them to disburse February and March allowances directly to students.

Its acting board chairperson Lourens van Staden said this will ensure a smooth disbursement process.

“Following delays in the 2024 academic year largely due to registration delays, the board took a decision to request institutions in the interim to operate as a channel to pay the February and March allowances. Communication was therefore sent to all universities notifying them of this decision.”
