Nsfas Allowances Dates 2023-2024
Nsfas Allowances Dates 2023-2024: The first week of each month, applicants will receive their NSFAS allowance payments.

It is important to remember that not every student will receive their allowance at the same time. The allowances are not in any way paid out or given to all students at once during this disbursement. Therefore, it’s possible for your friend to collect their allowances before you do.
