FULL BURSARY HOLDERS

If you are a bursary student, we require a letter from the bursar confirming the full Rand value of the bursary awarded to you, the date of disbursement and if payment will be made directly to the owner or via your university student account. If your bursary is less than the full amount for accommodation, students are liable for the shortfall.

NSFAS bursary holders should note that NSFAS only covers the residence fees up to a capped limit per year, so students are liable to pay monthly top ups to cover the shortfall.

PART BURSARY HOLDERS

NSFAS bursary holders should note that NSFAS only covers the residence fees up to a certain capped limit per year. NSFAS students will only be accepted after the signing of their sponsorship agreement and the residence approval amount is confirmed.
