The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a government-funded organization that provides comprehensive bursaries and student loans to deserving students.
NSFAS funding covers tuition and registration fees, as well as offers various allowances to help students cover additional costs associated with their tertiary education.
How to Calculate NSFAS Average Score
To calculate your NSFAS average score for continued funding, follow these steps:
- University Students:
- Determine the percentage of modules passed in each academic term.
- Achieve a 60% pass rate of course modules in each academic term.
- Example: If you have 10 modules in a term, pass at least 6 to maintain funding.
- TVET Students:
- Report 191 Level: Pass 3 out of 4 subjects.
- NC(V) Level Progression: Pass at least 5 subjects in the previous N-Level.
- General:
- Academic performance above 70% throughout the program entitles a student to a 50% bursary conversion.
