Students whose applications have been accepted and who have registered for the NSFAS program will find cash funds in their NSFAS Wallets. Cash funds will also be stored in the NSFAS Wallets of students who are eligible for direct NSFAS allowances.

After you have finished the registration process and are certain that your application has been approved, this section explains how to check the balance or statement on your NSFAS account to see if you have received funds from the program.

Students are provided with an NSFAS wallet, which is directly funded by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). This wallet can be used by students at certain higher education institutions to withdraw cash or spend it at any NSFAS-member merchant.

How to Check Your NSFAS Balance

The evaluation of your NSFAS balance can be done in a variety of ways. Your mobile phone is one of the most convenient ways to view your NSFAS Wallet cash balance and transactions: Using a straightforward USSD code that is applicable to all cell phone networks, you can examine your NSFAS Statement and balance.

Students must have access to the cell phone number they provided to NSFAS when registering for the program in order to participate in the scheme. Because that number will be used to deposit their funds, it is absolutely necessary for them to enter it correctly the first time.

If you’ve lost your cell phone:
You should immediately update your cell phone number if any of your contact information has changed. The self-service system makes it possible for you to make these adjustments on your own. You will need to connect to the internet, preferably via a computer or tablet, in order to finish this update. You can complete this task from the convenience of your own home if you have a personal computer with an internet connection. You can also finish this job by using a public computer at an internet café.
