"Bridge the gap, close the trap, help futures map a new path"
There’s a growing group of students who don’t qualify for NSFAS yet still can’t afford the costs of tertiary education.
They are the Missing Middle, hardworking and too often left behind.
Unable to Self fund. Too “Rich” for financial aid.
Help close the funding gap for thousands of students who fall through the cracks.
