[Becky Rice]

  To stay on top of your student financial aid journey, it’s essential to begin by researching all available funding options early on. Keep a checklist of important deadlines for applications, renewals, and document submissions. Stay alert by regularly checking your student email for updates from your financial aid office. Organize all relevant paperwork in a dedicated folder to make everything easily accessible. Make it a habit to log into the NSFAS Login portal frequently to track your application progress and ensure everything is up to date. If your personal or academic details change, update them immediately. Attend any financial aid workshops or webinars offered by your institution to stay informed. Don’t hesitate to reach out to financial aid advisors if you're uncertain about any step. Understanding the terms of your aid, especially regarding repayments, is also crucial. Lastly, set reminders for key dates so you never miss an important opportunity or requirement.
