NSFAS Observatory

We collect student-reported NSFAS issues and turn them into anonymised, aggregated insights. Not affiliated with NSFAS.

Log it. Map it. Help fight for change.

Newly launched. We've created a platform where students can anonymously add their issues with NSFAS to a public map.

The process is simple. Flag your issues. Map it. Help fight for change. https://t.co/S4GhwcR9VL

If this is your experience too, you're not alone: https://t.co/iGzJPehKNb
