In closing, NSFAS Board Chairperson, Mr Ernest Khosa, noted "I want to encourage all those who have applied for NSFAS funding for 2023 to log onto their myNSFAS accounts to track their applications.
The great news is that NSFAS applicants can access their application updates at the tip of their fingers through a new WhatsApp line and a USSD code.
You can add NSFAS on WhatsApp 078 519 8006 Or dial *120*67327 to track your 2023 application status.

As I conclude, I would like to take this opportunity to first recognize our first democratically elected President, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, who came up with the idea for this government-funded student financial aid model.
I would also like to thank our Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande, for his stewardship. On behalf of the NSFAS Board, we are grateful to be led by a visionary leader like yourself. Inkomu Mphephethwa.
I also would like to thank all those who also played a role in making what NSFAS is today, including the past and present beneficiaries.
I also thank my fellow Board members and the Executive Management, who are working tirelessly to turn the corner by steering NSFAS towards good governance in an effort to stabilise the institution.
To the leadership of students, both SAUS and SATVETSA and the management of all our institutions collectively led through USAF and SACPO and the Labour Unions, thank you so much. Steering this organization to the right direction is possible with your continued support and guidance.
Lastly, I my gratitude goes to our Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Science and Innovation for their omnipresent oversight role.
Ndzi khense ngopfu Inkomu swinene
I thank you"
