Does NSFAS Fund Students Who Dropped Out?

There are so many reasons one can be a dropout, some of which may include having too many family commitments, lack of funding, suffering from illness or disability, among other things. 

With these limitations, one might also be wondering if they can still qualify to apply for the NSFAS Bursary. This article will give you an answer to the question.

The answer is Yes. You qualify to be funded, provided you meet the NSFAS academic progression criteria.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme aims to provide eligible students with funding to allow them to further their studies at public universities or Colleges.

NSFAS is a bursary scheme provided by the government, which receives its funding and reports to the Higher Education and Training Department.

The bursary covers tuition fees, accommodation, registration fees, and living and transport allowances.

All South African students are eligible for the bursary if they fall within the allowed income bracket.

The organization funds students depending on the period of their degree or course.

The NSFAS policy agreement states that students need to pass at least half of their modules and should meet the academic requirements of their institution to continue receiving financial aid during the duration of their course.
