Hey future change-makers and dreamers! Ready to kickstart your academic journey without the financial stress? Today, we’re diving into some exciting news about the Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme, better known as ISFAP! If you’re a “missing middle” student in South Africa, this could be your golden ticket to university or college.

ISFAP is a game-changer, specifically designed to support students who don’t qualify for NSFAS but can’t afford tertiary education on their own. They’ve just announced when applications for the 2025 academic year will open, so let’s get you ready!

The Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme (ISFAP) is a groundbreaking initiative in South Africa that provides comprehensive bursaries to students pursuing both undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications. Their main focus? The “missing middle” – students whose household income is too high to qualify for government funding like NSFAS, but too low to genuinely afford university fees and living costs.

In essence, ISFAP bridges this financial gap, ensuring that talented South African students from disadvantaged backgrounds have the opportunity to access and succeed in higher education, ultimately contributing to the nation’s skilled workforce.
