SASCO is calling upon its structures to go to communities with an aim to assist learners/prospective students who will soon be our members, with the aims to provide guidance to grade 12 learners on how they should apply for NSFAS and other related bursaries, to expand and enhance opportunities that will provide assistance and information to underserved communities and mostly disadvantaged schools, and lastly inspire hope and action through encouragement that the doors of learning are opened.
