Academic Merit Bursaries for New Entrant First-year students

These bursaries are made available to newcomer students who enrol for a National Diploma or a B Tech degree at the University for the first time after Grade 12.
Only South African citizens qualify for these bursaries.
Students who enrol for non-subsidised courses, do not qualify for these bursaries.
A student only qualifies for the bursary if they register for all the modules of a specific course.
Students who have studied at other universities and those students who have already studied at the University and who are undergraduate students again, do not qualify for these bursaries.
Allocations are made annually and should a student cancel their registration in the year they receive the award they will forfeit the allocation.
Eligibility is determined by the average percentage of each subject on the Grade 12 certificate which will provide an accumulated discount based on the subjects passed on a certain level.
