The Difference Between Funza Lushaka and Nsfas
I guess all of
you have noticed that these two bursaries have some differences on other
hand are there for prospective applicants who wish to further their studies at
a public university. The difference between them is that Funza is responsible
to fund prospective applicants who wish to pursue a career in the teaching
industry. While Nsfas on the other hand is responsible for all kinds of
careers; it does not look at a university or college stream of study. Funza Lushaka
is also not applicable to college students. Nsfas can fund college students.

number and e-mail address that are in their records (a cell phone that you
