Who Will be Offered Funding?
• A full picture is required of an applicant’s financial circumstances. They should provide proof of information required if contacted to speed up their financial aid application.
• NSFAS will advise students regarding the outcome for their NSFAS funding applications during the first few weeks of the year.
• Every student is expected to pay something towards his or her own costs. Some students will have to pay a family contribution and to contribute towards their own food and book costs. In addition, funding assistance packages are not 100% of the funding need. This may vary from year to year.
• Applicants must refer to pages 36-37 of this Prospectus where costs are set out and discuss with their parents or guardian what their position will be if they are not awarded funds.
• Consider external donors.
• The University of KwaZulu-Natal database can be accessed through the Student Funding Centre Offices and directly through the Internet
at the University of KwaZulu-Natal website: www.ukzn.ac.za under ‘Student Portal’ and ‘Financial Support and Scholarships’.
• Bursaries offered by companies are also often advertised in the jobs section of newspapers. Applicants should try writing directly to a company or to the association for their intended profession.
