ABSA
An Absa Study Loan can be used to pay your study fees, textbook bills and related costs. It can help you make the most of your resources. You only have to pay the interest on the loan while you are studying. The actual loan itself only has to be paid back once you finish studying; and there’s a grace period for those students who have to complete a period of community service or internship following graduation.
