NSFAS student that hasn’t received allowances? Check your number

Those who receive an allowance through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) should take note of a recent reminder from the programme around cellphone numbers.

If the number attached to your account has been changed or does otherwise not match up with what is on file, it may result in allowances not being allocated.

To remedy this NSFAS provides the following steps below. Before starting these steps, however, you need to know your NSFAS Wallet password.

  1. Log onto your myNSFAS account and proceed to update your personal details.
  2. Change your current cellphone number on the myNSFAS portal to that of your NSFAS Wallet Account (if different),
  3. Now change this number (step 2) to the new cellphone number you wish to use on your NSFAS Wallet account.
  4. You will then receive an sms advising you to verify your wallet account by dialing *120*176# from your new cell phone number
  5. Enter your password
  6. You will be required to re-verify
  7. Follow the prompts on your cell phone to complete

Those who are still experiencing problems after making this change are prompted to make contact over Facebook, Twitter or by calling 0800067327. Other contact details can be found here.

While not mentioned in this announcement it’s also worth pointing out that the Cape Town Student Centre was recently moved and not available for a time. It has now opened and should be able to help students in the area in person.
