Financial support
Stellenbosch University (SU) believes that people who have the potential to succeed academically should as
far as practicable be given the appropriate opportunities. This is why SU strives to provide as much support
as possible to those who gain admission to the University as students but who lack financial means.
The University is very much aware of the financial need of its students. Unfortunately, though, the University
has limited funds at its disposal. Students are encouraged to not only look to the University for financial
support, but to also explore other, external (private) funding opportunities. The fact that a student has applied
for an SU bursary or funding is not a guarantee in any sense that they will be granted such funding.
The University offers two reliable forms of financial support that students can count on, namely excellence
awards and the highly beneficial "three children" rebates. These awards and rebates are granted based on
merit and do not consider financial need as an eligibility criterion.
In the first and last instance, therefore, each student at Stellenbosch University is personally responsible for
making financial provision for the settlement of their Student Fees account.
1. Who qualifies for financial support?

All South African citizens who are prospective students (who received a conditional or final offer from SU) or
current SU students may apply for financial support from the University.
A student who comes from a household with a gross household income (HHI) of less than R350 000 per
year – or for a student living with a disability, a gross HHI of not more than R600 000 per year – are advised
to apply for the government-funded National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) bursary. This bursary is
available to South African citizens, students with a permanent residence, and all SASSA grant recipients.
Applications are online via the official NSFAS website, www.nsfas.org.za. NSFAS-funded students are
encouraged to also apply annually for SU Funding Opportunities (SUFO).
Prospective and current postgraduate students of all nationalities may apply for SU's postgraduate bursary
programme. Please refer to the criteria per funding opportunity for more details.
The following categories do not qualify for financial support:
• Students registered as occasional students
• Students who register for a second bachelor’s degree programme, except for:
o Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE)
o LLB PG
o Medical students who transferred from BSc
• Students who are not RSA citizens
1.1 The two sets of factors in the University’s allocation of financial

support
Since the University’s financial resources are limited, it bases the allocation of bursaries – in other words, the
allocation of financial support – on both academic and financial factors.
Central to the academic factors is the individual’s potential to make a success of university studies. Central to
the financial factors is the individual’s financial need.
a) Academic factors
Students at the University, whether registered (current) or prospective, must meet the minimum academic
requirements for admission.
First-year students and students in one of the extended degree programmes who have been admitted to the
University as students on the strength of their results in the final school examinations (or equivalent
examinations) may be eligible for financial support (the University takes such admission to be sufficient proof
of their capacity to make a success of university studies).
Undergraduate students at the University must be registered for full-time, complete programmes.
Senior undergraduate students – that is, students in a second or further year of study – are required to have
passed at least 60% of the credits of their previous year of study. Senior undergraduate students who have
passed less than 60% of their credits of the previous year of study disqualify themselves on academic
grounds to be considered for any financial support.
3
Bursaries and Loans
b) Financial need
If an applicant has the academic potential to study successfully, the University will consider their financial
need. To form an accurate picture of the applicant’s financial position, the University will verify the household
income via a third party. With these financial particulars to hand, the Centre for Undergraduate Bursaries and
Loans (CUBL) then assesses the extent of the applicant’s financial need.
Students are granted financial support, regardless of race and gender, in direct proportion to the extent of
their financial need.
An applicant is normally considered for financial support if the gross household income is less than
R600 000 per year (“missing middle”). For households with a higher income (between R600 000 and
R1 million), the number of dependents attending a tertiary institution may be taken into consideration. Unless
otherwise specified, applicants must be South African citizens and reside in South Africa.
1.2 How can I apply for financial support?

• Study this book carefully to determine which bursaries you qualify for. Make sure to read through
the general bursaries, as well as the faculty-specific bursaries.
• For bursaries administrated by a private company or organisation, you can contact the company or
organisation directly for application forms.
• For SU funding, you can apply online during the SU Funding Opportunities (SUFO) application
period. The application dates will be communicated prior to the academic year for which funding
may be required. Please go to the CUBL website > Application process tab for more detailed
information.
• You use the same online application form to apply for more than one bursary administered by
Stellenbosch University. This includes applications for an SU external donor bursary and/or an SU
family bursary listed in this Yearbook Part 2.
• Make sure that you complete all the necessary forms correctly and that all required support
documents are uploaded when requested. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
• We urge all prospective and undergraduate students with financial needs to apply online to be
registered on the CUBL financial aid database. Bursary officers can then consider and nominate
students accordingly, across varying financial need, academic and/or other qualifying criteria.
Please note that if you apply and your financial circumstances change, you may inform the bursary
office and still be considered for suitable funding. However, if your financial circumstances change
(for example, due to provider’s change in income/job loss or death) and you did not apply during
the application period, you cannot be considered for any SU funding opportunity for the given
academic year.
1.3 What are the opening and closing dates for applications?
• The opening and closing date for undergraduate bursaries administered by Stellenbosch University
will be communicated on all official channels. Please also visit the CUBL website for information.
• The closing dates for bursaries administrated by private companies or organisations may differ from
that of the University, but the closing date of each externally administered bursary is indicated in the
bursary section of this book, where available.
• Postgraduate bursary applications have various closing dates. Contact postgradfunding@sun.ac.za
as early as April of the preceding academic year to enquire about the different closing dates.
1.4 How will I know if my application was successful?

All allocations of bursaries to current students who have applied timeously are finalised by year-end. The
Centre for Undergraduate Bursaries and Loans (CUBL) thereafter informs each applicant in writing of the
outcome of their application.
1.5 What may I spend the money on?

All funding/bursaries that are awarded to students may only be used for study fees, accommodation, meals,
books and study material, and for travel allowance for students residing at home.
1.6 Reduction or cancellation of bursary

A bursary may be cancelled or reduced at any time if the holder’s conduct or progress is unsatisfactory, or if
the holder discontinues their studies, or if the standard of their class work or their examination results are, in
the University’s opinion, not adequate.
The amount of the bursary is determined by a cost-of-study calculation. If the student receives any other
bursary or bursaries (e.g. an SU excellence award or a full cost-of-study bursary from an organisation), the
amount of the bursary will be reduced accordingly or even cancelled. This reduction or cancellation of the
4
Bursaries and Loans
bursary is done automatically.
2. What kind of financial support is available?

Current students and prospective students of the University are eligible for a wide range of bursaries.
Basically, these fall into four broad types:
• First-year Undergraduate Excellence Awards – granted on the basis of academic achievement in
grade 12/matric; Senior Merit Award – granted from the second to final year of undergraduate study
on the basis of academic achievement in the previous year.
• Rebates for certain Stellenbosch University students.
• Sport bursaries for Stellenbosch University students – awarded on the basis of achievements other
than scholastic or academic.
• Bursaries for undergraduate and postgraduate students with financial need at Stellenbosch
University.
2.1 Excellence awards for first-year students

There are four excellence awards for academically excellent students in their first year of undergraduate
study. There is no application process for these awards, as the allocation is an automatic, computerised
process.
2.1.1 Achievement awards

a) Vice-Chancellor's Award
The Vice-Chancellor’s Award is allocated in recognition of sterling grade 12 final academic results achieved.
Candidates who excelled in National Senior Certificate (NSC), the Independent Examination Board (IEB),
Cambridge, and other international examinations recognised by SU will be considered for this award. Fifteen
(15) awards will be made.
The Vice-Chancellor's awardees will receive correspondence from SU after the examination board results
have been released and final admission offers were made. Each award value is R100 000 and is a once-off
allocation to the Student Fees account.
Important note: The proposed list and final selection of candidates will be approved by the chair of the
Bursaries & Loans Committee (BLC).
b) Achiever Award
The Achiever Award recognises the sterling grade 12 academic achievement of 20 registered, first-year
students. The following candidates will be considered for this award:
• Category 1: the top ten first-year students who are enrolled at SU and excelled in NSC, IEB,
Cambridge, and other international examinations recognised by SU.
• Category 2: the top ten first-year students who are enrolled at SU and who attended a quintile 1 to 4
school (as classified by the Department of Basic Education) and passed the NSC. Should any top ten
candidate from a quintile 1 to 4 school also rank in either the Vice-Chancellor’s Award or Category 1
of the Achiever Award, the next candidate on the Category 2 ranking list will be considered.
The Achiever awardees will receive correspondence from SU after the examination board results have been
released and final admission offers were made. Each award value is R75 000 and is a once-off allocation to
the Student Fees account.
2.1.2 Merit awards

c) Excel Award
The Excel Award is allocated to the top 1% to 5% of first-time entry, first-year registered students per faculty.
Each award value is R25 000 and is a once-off allocation to the Student Fees account.
d) Access Award
The Access Award is allocated to all registered, first-year students from quintile 1 to 4 schools (as classified
by the Department of Basic Education) who passed the National Senior Certificate (NSC) with a grade 12
average above 80%. The value of each award is based on a sliding scale and is a once-off allocation to the
Student Fees account:
• more than 80% but less than 85% average: R5 000
• more than 85% but less than 90% average: R7 500
• more than 90% average: R10 000
5
Bursaries and Loans
Important note: The averages used for Excel and Access Awards are based on the calculation as per the
University’s Admission Policy.
The Excel and Access awardees will receive correspondence from SU after the examination board results
have been released and faculty registrations have been concluded.
2.1.3 Summary of conditions for an excellence award

1. These awards are available to South African citizens and students with permanent residence status.
2. A recipient must be registered at Stellenbosch University for their first year of study.
3. Registration at Stellenbosch University must also be the student’s first registration at a higher education
institution.
4. The final grade 12 (matric) results are applicable; re-marks will not be considered.
5. A recipient must have passed grade 12 (matric) not more than two years prior to the first year of study.
6. The award is a once-off allocation to the Student Fees account in the first year of study.
7. If a student de-registers before the end of the first semester, the full award will be forfeited. If a student
de-registered during the course of the second semester, 50% of the award will be forfeited.
8. A recipient whose parent(s) qualify for an SU staff rebate on tuition fees will receive a pro-rated
percentage of the award.
9. An Excel Award or an Access Award cannot be allocated in addition to a Vice-Chancellor’s Award or an
Achiever Award. A student who is identified for an Excel Award may, however, also receive an Access
Award, or vice versa.
10. The award will settle the Student Fees account first. If a credit results from an excellence award
allocation at the end of an academic year, the credit may be carried forward to the following academic
year that the student registers for.
For the Vice-Chancellor’s Award and the Achiever Award only: After settling the Student Fees account,
any credit available may be used for allowance disbursements – such as accommodation, meals,
textbooks, and travel associated with the student’s circumstances and living arrangements – or paid over
to the student.
For the Excel Award and the Access Award only: After settling the Student Fees account, any credit
available may be used for allowance disbursements such as accommodation, meals, textbooks, and
travel associated with the student’s circumstances and living arrangements.
11. All undergraduate excellence awards may be held concurrently with other bursaries or a combination of
bursaries, subject to the bursar or funder conditions.
12. The University reserves the right to cancel an undergraduate excellence award allocation accordingly
should it be determined that a student misrepresented any of the information used as criteria to qualify
for an undergraduate excellence award.
2.2 Senior Merit Award for senior-year students

This academic merit award is for senior undergraduates from their second to final year of study.
The Senior Merit Award is allocated to the top 5% of achievers per faculty, on the condition that a candidate
obtains a weighted aggregate of at least 75% in their previous academic year. There is no application process
for this award, as the allocation is an automatic, computerised process.
The award is a once-off, tuition-only rebate (discount) allocation to the Student Fees account, capped at
20%, and excludes module and/or programme costs.
The Senior Merit awardees will receive correspondence from SU once faculty registrations have been
concluded.
2.2.1 Summary of conditions for a Senior Merit Award

Bursaries and Loans
Bursaries for undergraduate students

As a rule, applicants for the financial support described in this Section must be prospective or registered
undergraduate students at Stellenbosch University (SU). The exceptions to this rule will be clear from the
descriptions given.
SU advises its students and prospective students to consult the relevant particulars in this Section.
All applications must be done online via the Stellenbosch University Funding Opportunities (SUFO) link, or
with the company or trust concerned. There is only one application process for the SU-managed bursaries
listed in this Yearbook Part 2 – this includes applications for the SU external donor and SU family bursaries.
Students in financial need are encouraged to apply annually for University funding, to ensure they are
registered on the Centre for Undergraduate Bursaries and Loans (CUBL) financial aid database.
All undergraduate applications for funding opportunities that are administered by the University should reach
