ISFAP provides bursaries to deserving students who meet the requirements. Requirements for ISFAP entails coming from households with an annual income falling between R0 and R600 000 and being registered at the universities and courses that ISFAP partners with.
ISFAP funding is there to provide financial funding to lower-income students and those who fall into the “missing middle" and struggle to pay their tuition fees.
ISFAP provides funding for any South African citizen who qualifies based on financial need as well as academic performance.
Part of the bursary is that you get various forms of an ISFAP monthly allowance, including covering your tuition costs. ISFAP bursary allowance is a great help to students with ISFAP offering other social support services and Life Skills Training to their students as well.

Even courses such as mechanical engineering bachelor degrees, computer engineering bachelor degrees and civil engineering bachelor degrees are covered by the ISFAP bursary.
