Application for funding
If you require financial assistance for your studies read this section carefully and refer to Section J of Application for Admission to Study form (Form 1: see Links on the right).
The closing date for 2013 financial aid applications - for students new to UCT was 31 October 2012.
Note that late application will not be considered.
UCT's financial assistance programme, intended to assist financially needy students who are assessed as eligible to receive financial assistance, is based on a partnership between the student, parent/guardian, the Government's Loan Scheme (NSFAS) and UCT. All parties to the partnership make a financial contribution towards the student's cost of study. Financial assistance will ordinarily be a combination of a bursary and loan.
The following questions will help to determine whether you are eligible to apply. You are eligible to apply for financial assistance if:
- You are a South African citizen or South African permanent resident
- You have no other tertiary qualification
- You are applying for an approved full-time undergraduate degree
