How To Use NSFAS Connect

NSFAS offices will be closed for the duration of the lockdown. This closure will now impact operations at NSFAS. However, the Contact Centre number will be suspended for the duration of the lockdown. 

To continuously improve ways of communicating to students, NSFAS has developed a new feature on their website called NSFAS Connect. NSFAS Connect allows you to communicate with NSFAS more swiftly and directly.
