Step 3: Make payment (registration purposes)
Once the application process is complete, a student will be informed accordingly. The minimum

Proof of financial aid/bursaries must be submitted with application documents. Students who are in need of financial aid can contact the SFPL. Students who register for a diploma will not be entitled to UFS financial aid.
