Stellenbosch University Vice-Chancellor's Award

• R100 000, a once-off allocation to the Student Fees Account in the first year of study.
• Settles the Student Fees Account first; any credit remaining after fees are settled may be carried forward to the next academic year of registration, used for allowance disbursements such as accommodation, meals, textbooks and travel, or paid over to the student.
• If the student de-registers before the end of the first semester, the full award is forfeited; de-registering during the second semester forfeits 50% of the award.
• A recipient whose parent(s) qualify for an SU staff tuition rebate receives a pro-rated award.
• May be held concurrently with other bursaries, subject to the bursar's or funder's conditions.

There is no application and therefore no closing date. Awardees are notified by correspondence from SU after examination board results are released and final admission offers are made.
