How to Apply for Nsfas Funding without a Cell phone

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a South African non-profit organization established and supported by the South African government to provide funding to Tvet and university students who have been admitted to their respective fields but are financially disadvantaged. They accept new students on a yearly basis, and the application period for 2024 is officially open from September 28, 2023, to January 31, 2024.

Even though we live in a technological age, there are still people who are left behind because they cannot afford the tools that make life easier, such as a cell phone or mobile phone. In this article, we will explain to prospective applicants why having a cell phone is necessary when applying for funding.

Is it possible to Apply for Funding without a cell phone?

NO is the answer: You will need a working cellphone, a valid cellphone number, and your own email address to apply for NSFAS funding. A tablet or computer can also be used. If you don’t have a cellphone, you can borrow one from a trusted guardian or relative, but it’s best if you have your own phone number. There may be no more than two applicants who use the same cellphone number or email address. This information is required to set up a myNSFAS account, which will be used to apply for funding.
