I'm signing because I am also affect by this new rule of nsfas. It is stressing me to a point where it's even hard to settle down and study because I might be kicked out anytime at res and what will I do after that .I am coming from a less previlleged home there's no second option or anything they can do for me if nsfas does not fund me.

I'm signing this because, it is unfair and unjust for the NSFAS board to think that a student qualifying for NSFAS should find their own means to paay for accommodation because of 60 credits that are to be done at on campus face to face, where are they supposed to get the money? Isn't the purpose of the scheme to help aid students with no means to pay for accommodation why now are they being told that they have to

Nokuzola Mthembu (BIZANA, 2023-03-14)

#61

It is unfair that students with less than 60credits are partially funded . During registration some of their courses didn't allow then to take up more modules to meet the 60 credit marks . Why should their livelihood be determined by the number of points they have and this belittles their courses of chosen career

I am signing this because I am one of the students under serious stress because of the possibility of not being funded due to my credits being less than 60. Had we been informed about this earlier most of the students wouldn’t have bothered because they would’ve been aware of what they’re about to face and not just face it while they’re here. It’s sad that NSFAS miscommunicated with us as students
