Prospective - Fees and Funding

If you have chosen the UP to study the tertiary programme of your choice, you are on the verge of starting a life-changing educational journey. However, the reality is that quality tuition comes at a financial cost.

Apart from tuition fees, students also need funds for academic textbooks, stationery supplies, printing, transport, food, and accommodation. Applying for funding, such as bursaries, scholarships, and loans, can help you meet these financial responsibilities.

The good news is that if you or your family is concerned about these expenses, you can apply for funding, such as bursaries, scholarships, and loans. There are also financial aid options available through the NSFAS.

As a prospective student, you can apply tuition discounts, bursaries, or other forms of funding and financial aid. Read more here.
