Stellenbosch University encourages students to apply for financial support
Stellenbosch, 1 July 2024 – Stellenbosch University (SU) is pleased to announce the opening of applications for the 2025 SU Funding Opportunities for Undergraduates.
Application dates
- Current students: Applications are open 1 July 2024 – 30 September 2024
- Prospective students: Applications are open 1 – 31 October 2024 only
SU encourages all current and prospective students to apply for bursaries for 2025. Funding allocations are based on financial need and/or academic merit.
All applicants are advised to first review the Application Process tab on the CUBL website for detailed information on the support documents that applicants need to complete. A student’s unique, 8-digit SU student number will allow access to the online application portal. The application process is accessible and user-friendly and – once you have prepared your support documents to upload – the form will take about 15 minutes to complete.
Head of Institutional and Corporate Funds, Bianca Andrews, said last year they received just over 9 000 applications for funding. “Our streamlined process eliminated barriers and ensured that every student had an equal chance to apply.”
Andrews says CUBL also manages and administers bursaries for external donors according to specific criteria, including financial need, academic performance, and leadership. To be considered for one of these bursaries, applicants will need to complete an additional unique application form and upload it when prompted during the online application process. There are several SU Family bursaries available to students who can prove their descendancy, among other eligibility criteria.
“We look forward to receiving the 2025 funding applications and will continue our pursuit to support students in their academic journeys,” Andrews concluded.
Please note that SU funding is limited, and applying does not guarantee funding. For more information, visit the SU Bursaries and Loans website.
