The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) application system has gone through several changes and enhancements and is ready to be launched on Friday, according to the Higher Education and Training Minister.
This follows the launch being delayed on Tuesday because a trial run was needed.
Minister Nobuhle Nkabane said the platform would ensure a seamless application experience for prospective applicants.
“Our focus includes aligning the new NSFAS application process with the needs of higher education institutions and addressing any operational challenges,” Nkabane said on Wednesday.
The minister will be joined by NSFAS administrator Freeman Nomvalo and learners who will participate in live application activations at the offices of the Government Communication and Information System.
Nine schools from the provinces have been identified. NSFAS officials will assist students and out-of-school youth in applying for NSFAS funding.
