Nearly 100,000 students have not yet received their November allowances, according to the State's National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), since their schools have not yet submitted the necessary paperwork, Sunday Times reports.

Harare — Nearly 100,000 students have not yet received their November allowances, according to the State's National Student Financial Aid Scheme , since their schools have not yet submitted the necessary paperwork,, the data is necessary and needs to be confirmed before any money is disbursed. The end of the academic year has left thousands of students from five institutions stranded.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is concerned by the misleading heading of an article by the Sunday Times newspaper written by Prega Govender today, the 5th November 2023. The article also fails to appreciate measures introduced by NSFAS to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of student information provided to it by institutions. All these efforts are aimed at ensuring that NSFAS pays the right student allowances and to minimize delays in the disbursements of allowances.

The NSFAS continues to implement its redesign to the Information Communication and Technology system, which leverages modern technologies and capabilities in order to deliver the NSFAS mandate seamlessly. NSFAS continues to review all its processes, operations and its disbursement model. Total direct allowances summary disbursed through direct payment partners amounts to R511,182,438,00.There was a problem processing your submission.
