With the 2023 academic year just around the corner, those who have previously turned to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas) by applying for funding for their tertiary education may have decided otherwise.
There are many reasons why an applicant may choose to withdraw their application; maybe they’ve secured funding elsewhere, don’t require funding anymore or have simply decided to part ways with Nsfas.
