2. University Entrance Scholarships
(For matriculants not recipients under 1)
If you score between 1 and 3 distinctions (80% and above or a rating of 7), you may be eligible for a scholarship which is worth R1 500 for each distinction.

The scholarship is to be used for tuition fees and excludes residence fees, notes and any other miscellaneous expenses.
Conditions apply. These include:
- Conditions relating to passing criteria at midyear (as determined by your Faculty) will be part of the scholarship.
- Mid year assessment determines whether reversal of the scholarship will be made after a ?July progress report?. Depending on the report, you may be immediately liable for half the fees.
- The Scholarship is for a maximum of six designated subjects only and excludes Life Orientation.
- A contract whereby you undertake to accept conditions, must be signed.
- Scholarship students are still eligible for NSFAS funding (the difference between the scholarship and the cost of being at University may be covered by NSFAS)
