The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is a South African government initiative that provides financial aid to disadvantaged students from the poor and working class who meet eligibility criteria to study at public universities or TVET colleges. If you are a South African citizen or permanent resident, a SASSA grant recipient, or have a combined gross household income of not more than R350 000 per year, you qualify for a free bursary provided by the government.
