Oftentimes, many say the cost of tertiary education is very high, so it is only the rich that make it to colleges and universities. Partially true, but in other to eradicate that notion and bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, the South African Government has empowered an agency called NSFAS which operates under the auspices of the Department of Higher Education and training to provide financial support to SA citizens who want to study but are financially challenged.
