How Much Does NSFAS Pay For Accommodation At TUT? The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a South African government initiative that provides financial assistance to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who wish to pursue higher education. One of the components of the NSFAS package is accommodation, which is intended to help students cover the cost of living away from home while attending university or college.

The amount of financial assistance provided by NSFAS for accommodation varies depending on a number of factors, including the type of accommodation, the location of the accommodation, and the specific financial needs of the student. In general, NSFAS pays a set amount per month towards accommodation costs, which is intended to cover a portion of the student’s rent or other housing expenses.
