Regarding NSFAS funding, changing universities typically requires re-evaluation of your eligibility. In most cases, continued funding is possible if you meet NSFAS’s academic progress requirements and you inform them of your intention to transfer. It’s crucial to communicate with both your current institution’s financial aid office and NSFAS to ensure that your funding is not disrupted.
For more detailed guidance, you can read more about university applications at [UniApplyForMe Universities](https://apply.org.za/universities) and consult directly with NSFAS via their official channels to understand the specific implications for your funding.
