Do students who require a financial means test that are older than 18 years of age, who are no longer minors or living with their parents or guardian, still need to complete a consent form?

The NRF offers funding support to students studying/intending to study on a full-time basis and who will not be in contractual or permanent employment whether salaried or unpaid while pursuing postgraduate studies. The financial means test will be based on the combined gross family income which is defined as a measure of the combined income of parents/spouses and/or legal guardians who earn income both from the formal and informal sector (e.g., salaries and wages, grants, pension and other sources of income including business and/or rental income). This will apply to all applicants’ for NRF funding irrespective of the age of the student.
