“Our rent is not paid we squat so we can wake up and write exams the next day. It's really hard being a student dependant on Nsfas and no help whatsoever from parents or family. I haven't received a single cent since March it's now July.”
@Sumo99784151 explained her struggle:
“The struggle is real they defunded me last year. I was not informed. I discoverd that this year when they reversed all the money they paid last year. I'm in depts worse part no reason has been provided. Nsfas sucks it is crap.”

18 640 NSFAS students left with no cash after Sassa can't verify them
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has reported that 18 640 students who applied for funding will not receive any money as their identities could not be verified by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa).
NSFAS revealed this during its appearance before the National Assembly committee on higher education, science and technology, reported Briefly New.
The student funding scheme reported that it had received 264 642 applications but was only able to approve 246 004 of them.
“The remaining 18 640 applications cannot be verified against the Sassa database,” it said.
Most of the applicants were first-time students, African and female.
“Significant increase in the volume and spread of applicants coming from the most vulnerable cohort of society,” NSFAS said in reference to the social grant beneficiaries.
