We also have the same system here in South Africa. It is called NSFAS(National Student Financial Aid System). It is government loan. If you pass all modules you registered, the whole loan used to be converted into a bursary as an incentive. Starting from 2018, education is now free for people who earn below a threshold of R350,000(~USD25,000) household income.

There is also a contingency plan for students who come from families with a household income of R600,000(USD 43,000) per annum.
