JOHANNESBURG - The Higher Education Department is urging the matric class of 2023 not to wait for their results before applying for NSFAS.

Student protests have become a common sight - mostly due to non-payments by NSFAS and financial exclusions.

The Student Financial Aid Scheme has met to discuss some of its outstanding issues, including student allowances, budget adjustment and preparation for the 2024 academic year.

It says it hopes to conclude all outstanding 2023 disbursements by the 15th this month.
