MANCOSA Funding for such financial aid is made through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) and hence the size of any award is determined according to the NSFAS means test.
All MANCOSA bursaries are offered for distance learning programmes, and are subject to the MANCOSA Bursary Policy.
