Undergraduate University Funding
The University of Witwatersrand offers several scholarships for undergraduate students. Most of these Scholarships are based on academic merit. The Limit for all Undergraduate University Administered Funding is R 155 000.
If a student receives an external bursary (regardless of the source) which is more than the maximum allocation of R155 000, he/she will be required to re- turn the University funding. This is to enable the University to assist other Wits students.
All university awards will be cancelled and forfeited should a student deregister for any given reason.
