Why This Payment Matters for South African Students
The NSFAS payment of R5200 helps many South African students stay in school. This money is important because it lets them continue their education instead of dropping out. As things get more expensive each year many students rely on this funding to attend university. Without this support thousands of students would struggle to get a higher education. The monthly allowance covers basic needs & helps students focus on their studies. This financial aid makes a real difference in South African communities.
