Stellenbosch University Centre for Undergraduate Bursaries and Loans
The Centre for Undergraduate Bursaries and Loans (CUBL) forms part of the Finance division at Stellenbosch University (SU), and our team of professional financial aid practitioners support prospective and current undergraduate students who wish to apply for financial aid by granting and administering bursaries in a sustainable manner.
Each student of SU is personally responsible for making financial provision for the settlement of their Student Fees account. There are different ways to ensure your University education fits your household budget: you can fund your degree programme through a bursary, academic merit or sport award, and/or a bank loan. Our website can assist you in exploring these options.

Stellenbosch University believes that every student who has the potential to make a success of academic studies should as far as practicable be given the appropriate opportunities. CUBL thus strives to provide as much support as possible to students who gain admission to the University but lack the financial means required to study.

All and only NSFAS and FUNZA bursary assistance at SU (including FMHS NSFAS/FUNZA students)

Due to the high volume of emails received and handled by CUBL, all email correspondence must include a student number, bursary name/ref, and a short descriptor in the subject line.
For example: 'SU#12345678 / NSFAS – change in accommodation form request'. This will ensure your enquiry can be attended to promptly and efficiently.
Current bursary students can make an in-person booking here.
A virtual meeting can be schedule via MS Teams (this is our preferred mode of communication).
