Page 44 - Undergraduate Prospectus 2025

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 all students will have to pay
an acceptance deposit of R250 (subject to change for 2025) 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.
