NSFAS addresses Tshwane North College allowances concern
Subsequent to the recent unrest at Tshwane North College regarding student allowance issues, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has received an urgent request from the institution to be onboarded on the NSFAS Wallet with immediate effect.
Due to NSFAS Wallet disbursement processes being automated such migration required the scheme to do due diligence, after careful consideration and engagements NSFAS has decided to take over the student allowance disbursement function from the college with immediate effect. Students from this institution will receive their allowances directly from NSFAS via the NSFAS Wallet system.
Moving forward NSFAS will facilitate an engagement with the college management, and student representatives to provide feedback and reassure students that their concerns are taken into consideration. We would like to appeal to students to remain calm as we finalise the process.
