Scholarship overview

The University of Limpopo's Tuition Fee Bursary for Postgraduate Studies is open only to first-time entering postgraduate students. Master's and Doctoral students qualify automatically as first-time entrants; Honours students (including B.Ed Honours) qualify by having obtained at least 60% in their final undergraduate year in the subject(s) or course(s) they intend to pursue at postgraduate level.

The bursary is paid out only once a student completes their studies, is capped at the actual tuition levied in the year of registration, and does not cover administration, local levy or residence fees, which remain the student's responsibility.
