Many students ask me what my NSFAS Student Portal is. To state this, in brief, the full form of the NSFAS student portal is the National Student Financial Aid Scheme used by beneficiaries and students to get important information about funding. These schemes provided bursaries to those students who could not afford their education expenses while living in South Africa. These schemes are highly approachable and pay beyond your fees, like accommodation, books, transport, and registration procedures in different colleges.
