Cancel Your NSFAS Funding To Receive SASSA SRD Grant

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) provides financial assistance to South African students pursuing higher education. In contrast, the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant offers temporary support to individuals facing financial hardship.

To apply for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, it’s essential to first cancel any existing National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) funding. The SRD grant is intended for individuals who are unemployed and not receiving any form of income or government assistance, including NSFAS support. Therefore, to be eligible for the SRD grant, you must discontinue your NSFAS funding.
