Sponsored: Technology to transform bursary student futures
In today’s exponentially technology-driven world, taking on an organisation that has pretty significant technology challenges takes a brave person. At the helm of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) technology revolution is CIO Modibedi Oliphant.

“The technology behind NSFAS and its ability to deliver on its mandate is very firmly in the process of being transformed,” says Oliphant. “This transformation means NSFAS can build from the past 20 years and grow into a new era of community development as we educate youth to become proactive, productive citizens, contributing to uplifting the economy and the well-being of their families.
“The strategy is to use technology to become increasingly student- centric, with three dynamic and highly interactive flagship initiatives: the NSFAS student app, student bank accounts, and deploying student accommodation management, all of which are underpinned by new or corrected data platforms. Once our super app, ‘Project Orion’, is complete, students can do everything on this platform.
