Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to study the tertiary programme of your choice, and will soon start a life-changing educational journey. While this is exciting news for any student, the reality is that quality tuition comes at a financial cost.
Apart from tuition fees, students also need funds for academic textbooks, stationery supplies, printing, transport, food, and accommodation.
The good news is that if you or your family is concerned about these expenses, you can apply for funding, such as bursaries, scholarships, and loans. There are also financial aid options available through the NSFAS.
