TSHWANE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
My name is Potlako Hope Modise. I applied for the NSFAS funding on time in 2019 but because the funds were never approved I ended up losing an opportunity to study at UCT or Pretoria University as they were the 2 universities which had accepted me at that time. I then decided to upgrade my maths and science subjects which really paid off as I have been accepted at Wits University in the medicine field. This time my parents had to apply for loans and even borrow from family members and still I have not received any feedback from NSFAS and everytime I log onto their website its either jammed or showing the same message that they are busy with fixing the system. Now the is a list of approved students for funding but still I can’t access the list. My parents only managed to pay for registration, 1 month rent for accommodation but still don’t have the money for text books and the classes start on 28/02/2022 and what’s frustrating the most is I cannot ask anyone at NSFAS if the funding is approved because everytime you call their offices you are referred back to online. I can’t afford to spend another 12 months at home while watching the situation at home becoming more and more dire especially now that my mom can’t go back work because she did a spine operation and she cannot walk. I am my family’s hope and all I ask is a chance to make it work for all of us at home by acquiring the degree. Please NSFAS, or anybody who is willing to assist, please give me this opportunity to improve the lives of my family!!!!
I’ve been trying to apply in many universities but there’s nothing come I need help
