- First-time entering students (FTENS) with a confirmed NSFAS funding allocation for 2024 may register fully without any payments.
- Students with a confirmed NSFAS funding allocation for 2024 with a debt of R30 000 and less may register provisionally and pay the required fees* for provisional registration.
- South African self-paying (NON-NSFAS) students:
- SA students with a debt of up to R500 may register fully without making any payments.
- SA students with a debt of up to R30 000 may register provisionally and pay the required fees* for provisional registration.
- FTENS not on UFS funded list:
- Students who are not on the funded list but report that they have been approved on their portal must contact our
Financial Aid Offices urgently so that the university can escalate to NSFAS.
The university will have continuous engagement with the National Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) to resolve outstanding matters. The university’s Financial Working Group (FWG) will meet regularly to determine how it can best assist students taking into consideration the financial constraints of the university.

From their offices in London, Sydney, Washington, Brussels, Amsterdam and Sweden their editorial team provides unrivalled expertise and in-depth news coverage of research policy and politics, and comprehensive listings of funding opportunities and sponsors across all disciplines.
The information on this site is stored in three interlinked databases:
1. Funding opportunities
2. Sponsors

Funding opportunities
Records include a detailed abstract of the opportunity including details of eligibility requirements, deadline, the original text of the call (where available); and links to the application form, specific page of the sponsor's web site, contact details of programme management and records in our Sponsors database describing the relevant research programme and sponsor.
