NSFAS Closing Date For 2022

NSFAS Closing Date For 2022 | NSFAS was established according to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme Act (Act 56 of 1999) and incorporated TEFSA (Tertiary Education Fund of South Africa).

Such conditions include the use of the means test and the loan conversion of up to 40 per cent of any loan as an incentive for academic success.
