The UWC University Merit Award is a first-year award from the University of the Western Cape for prospective students who accept an offer of admission. It is calculated automatically from the applicant's National Senior Certificate admission point score under UWC's own calculation, so no separate application is made.
Current (senior) students do not apply for this award; if they need support in later years they submit the annual UWC Financial Assistance application instead.
No application deadline applies, because the award is allocated automatically after an offer is accepted. Prospective students are notified by the Financial Aid Office.

Applicants who accept an offer of admission are grouped into Category A, B or C by their UWC admission point score, and the corresponding amount is credited to their fee account without a separate review or application.
