How Many Years Can NSFAS Fund You?
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) can fund you for a maximum of five years, based on the availability of funding each year. This means that if you are enrolled in a course that takes longer than five years to complete, you will be responsible for your own tuition after the fifth year.
However, NSFAS does have an N+1 rule, which means that if you fail one year of your studies, you will be eligible for funding for an additional year. This means that you could potentially be funded for up to six years in total.
It is important to note that NSFAS does not fund postgraduate degrees or second qualifications. This means that if you want to study for a master’s degree or a PhD, you will need to find other funding sources.
