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.”
