NSFAS Allowance Increase 2024

The allowance for 2024 will not change. It will be the same as the previous year. So, all the messages related to NSFAS increasing allowances and adding car allowances are fake; there will be no increase in allowances.

Do Students’ Allowances Differ?

Students’ allowance depends on their institutions. NSFAS will pay whatever their tuition and registration fee is. So, students from different institutes will get different tuition and registration allowance amounts.

Similarly, your distance from the institute and your accommodation will determine the transport and accommodation allowance, which cannot be the same for all students. Overall, the NSFAS students’ allowance may vary from student to student.
