Nsfas News About Allowances 2023-2024: After graduating from high school, South African students who are unable to afford the expense of their tertiary education can receive financial assistance through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The nsfas starts distributing students’ allowances to the wallet after funding for students has been approved each year. Within the first 10 days of each month, the Nsfas allowance is processed and credited to the student’s wallet on the Mynsfas account. It is crucial to keep in mind that not every student will receive their allowance immediately. Not all students receive their allowances at the same time. This implies that your friend might get their allowance earlier than you do. Kindly read through this article to know everything about the NSFAS allowance.

The amounts given for housing, living allowance, transportation, and learning materials must be in accordance with the most recent DHET criteria.

  • Accommodation allowance
  • Transport allowance
