Partially funded

FLY@UP Assist Senior Undergraduate Awards

University of Pretoria, South Africa

Scholarship overview

The Fly@UP Assist Senior Undergraduate Awards are achievement awards given automatically by the University of Pretoria to continuing undergraduate students who performed well in their previous year of study. No application is needed, and the awards go equally to South African citizens, permanent residents and citizens of other countries who qualify.

They sit alongside a separate Fly@UP Assist award for first-year students within UP's broader student funding offering, and are administered through the Student Service Centre.

The amount a qualifying student receives depends on their previous-year Grade Point Average, with two award bands. The University reserves the right to amend the criteria and amounts depending on available funding, and the 2027 amounts may still be revised.

Award Information

  • Undergraduate contact student registered for an undergraduate academic programme at UP in the previous year of study, and not in the final year of that programme.

  • Students registered simultaneously for two or more undergraduate programmes receive one award only, based on the programme with the higher qualifying marks.

  • GPA of 80% to 100%: R11,000.

  • Refunds of resulting credit balances are limited to 50% of the first-semester balance, with the remaining balance refunded in September.
  1. No application is needed: the University automatically identifies and makes the award to qualifying senior undergraduate students once the previous year's results are finalised.
  2. A student who discontinued their studies for a year or longer and wants to be considered on return can submit a written motivation to the Student Service Centre, as described on the award page.

How selection works

  • Selection is automatic and based solely on the previous year's Grade Point Average, calculated from credit-weighted module results.
  • Students meeting the credit and GPA thresholds receive the award without applying.
  • A student registered for two undergraduate programmes at once is assessed only on the programme with the higher qualifying marks.
