Students Who Have Applied to Do a One-Year Honour S Programme with an Academic Department

• Students who have applied to do a one-year Honour’s programme with an academic department in the Faculty of Humanities in 2015 are encouraged to apply for this award even if their outcome of the application has not been finalised yet. Awards offered are valid and will be confirmed once formal notification has been received of acceptance into the programme.
• Merit and/or Financial Need awards can be applied for. Financial need will be considered in cases where an applicant’s gross family income and/or income from all sources is less than R200, 000 per annum. If eligible for this category, proof will need to be submitted with the application.
• Declaration that a student is financially independent of his/her family does not qualify her/him for needs-based support. Such students may, however, qualify for a merit-based award.
• Financial need consequent on life-style choices (dependents, choice of housing, etc.), does not qualify applicants for needs-based support. Such students may, however, be eligible for a merit-based award.
