  Subsidy for South African students
 
A limited number of student subsidies are available for South African students in financial need.  All students are required to pay the full registration fee. In addition, a subsidy of 50% on Accommodation and School Costs at the 5/chalet rate will be awarded to students based on academic merit and financial need. The total number of subsidies will depend on available funds. No support is available for travel costs.
Those students wishing to be considered for financial support must:
  • Complete and submit the online registration form by 01 November 2004
  • Ask their supervisor to send an e-mail letter before 01 November 2004 to the
    secretary,
    physoffice@sun.ac.za with the following information:
     -  Subject heading: Application for Subsidy – Name of student
     -  Attest to the student’s academic standing and motivate for the student’s
        participation in the School.
     -  State what additional funds have been sourced and why the entire cost of the

  • Applicants will be informed by 01 December 2004 if they have been successful
    in their application for the reduced rate.
