Distance Learning Colleges Funded by NSFAS | Complete Guide

The latest NSFAS policy 2024 allocates funds for students in universities, TVET colleges, and even students studying through distance learning. As long as you are eligible for the scheme, NSFAS gives you an allowance package, including study expenses, material costs, transport allowance, living costs, and accommodation allowance.

In this case, students enrolled in distance education programs have a maximum funding of R5,460, depending on their course. However, to become eligible for this funding, you must be enrolled in a full-time course with a minimum of 120 credit hours. These students are also not given transport, accommodation, meal allowance, and other related expenses.
