DUT Undergraduate Scholarship Award for Returning Students (Fee Remission)

• Distinctions in all subjects of the previous year/level: full tuition fee remission for the subsequent higher level.
• Overall pass with distinction (average 75% or above, including rounding off): 50% tuition fee remission.
• If the student qualifies in the third year or final semester, remission applies for that year/semester when the full curriculum is registered; part-time students over two years get remission for the first year/semester only.
• When annual and semester subjects are combined, remission covers annual subjects and the first semester only.
• Fee remission covers tuition only and excludes additional costs such as breakages and experiential training.
• If the student withdraws, the full scholarship becomes payable to DUT.
• Students whose full tuition is covered by an earmarked bursary or NRF scholarship receive a R500 (75% average) or R800 (distinctions in all subjects) textbook voucher; partial-bursary holders receive a top-up for the difference.

No separate application deadline is stated; qualification is checked at registration for the subsequent year or semester.

1. Complete the previous level with qualifying results on the first attempt.
2. Register full-time for the subsequent level and confirm your remission at registration.
3. Declare any outside bursary or loan.

Reference: DUT General Handbook.

Academic results are used to assess the award; any outside bursary or loan must be declared.

Entitlement is based on previous-level results: distinctions in every subject give full remission, and an overall average of 75% or above gives 50%.
