3. Can I apply for NSFAS if I have already studied without the NSFAS funding or with another sponsor?

4. Do I need to apply for 2023 funding for each semester and trimester if I am currently approved? No, if you are currently funded by them, you are not required to reapply. The approved application will cover your studies till you complete the degree or qualification that you applied for assistance with the bursary for. This means that it will cover the entire duration of your study. It only applies to undergraduates currently as the scheme is pulling away from postgraduate funding, leaving them to get their funding needs sorted out by other funds.
