Higher education and training minister Blade Nzimande has poured cold water on chances of increasing student funding despite growing demand.

There was an estimated R10bn shortfall in the NSFAS bursary scheme because of increased demand for funding in the 2021 academic year.

“NSFAS has modelled budget implications for future demand for bursaries with associated costs projected to be R10bn in 2022. Discussions are under way [with] National Treasury to source the required funds.” A new application process had been developed and existing processes reviewed to enable prospective students to make applications until January. The new system will be capable of providing real-time funding eligibility decisions for students who are first-time entrants to tertiary education and linked to SA Social Security Agency grant funding.
