UJ says NSFAS payment delays won’t impact students
The University of Johannesburg says they are waiting for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) to settle outstanding 2023 tuition fees.
Many students in South Africa rely on NSFAS to fund their tuition fees at tertiary institutions nationwide.
NSFAS announced has already received over one million applications for the 2024 academic year, with additional applications expected before the application cycle closes on Wednesday.
UJ’s Mzwakhe Matukane says they are in communication with NSFAS to ensure the payments from last year are done and to ensure 2024 students get registered on time.
"The university has outstanding fees from NSFAS. We have received certain amounts last week, we are still busy with the reconciliation to determine the exact amount that is still outstanding.
"We are in communication with NSFAS to ensure that fees are settled as soon as possible. This does not affect the returning students.
“We allow students to register while we engage with NSFAS on the outstanding payments," he said.
