Financial Aid

Life is unpredictable. Whether you were planning to pay your tuition fees without financial aid but an unexpected event changed your family’s financial circumstances, or the ever-increasing cost of living has made it impossible to save money for tuition, there are solutions.

Because the University of Pretoria cares about all our students, we want to help you find the financial aid that will enable your educational ambitions.

At the UP, we understand that studying at a tertiary level comes with many expenses for you and your family. We have financial aid available to all students, regardless of their household income, study programme or year of study.
