The University of Pretoria cares about all our students. We know that studying at a university comes with a host of expenses for you and your family.

We know that sometimes life gets tough and that your family isn’t always able to help with paying for your fees. Job losses, cash flow crises, unexpected medical expenses and unforeseen tragedies often affect our financial status negatively. #UPCares and we understand this. We know that your education is a priority to you, and that’s why we’re trying to help students by making every rand go further for you and your family. This is how we LIVE THE UP WAY.

To have an IMPACT, we’re compiling a database of all our students who want to be considered for discounts, bursaries, and other forms of funding and financial aid benefits.

Remember that registering on this database is not a guarantee that you will receive funding, but it will help us to offer you funding when there are suitable opportunities available. This database is open to all students, regardless of household income, study programme or year of study.

Simply register for financial aid by following the simple steps shown here.
