When applying for funding from the National Student Financial Scheme (NSFAS), you need a working email address and cellphone number for NSFAS to inform you about the progress related to your application, among other matters.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how you can create a free email address:

  • Type “free email sites” on the search bar of your Internet browser to see the different free email sites available. Examples are iCloud, Yahoo, and Gmail.
  • Select the free email site of your choice and click on it.
