FULL BURSARY HOLDERS
If you are a bursary student, we require a letter from the bursar confirming the full Rand value of the bursary, the disbursement date and if payment will be made directly to Kovacs or via the university. Bursary students whose payments are effected via the university, approval will only be granted if there are no outstanding fees due to UWC. The refundable breakage fee of R2 900 should be paid by the applicant.
PART BURSARY HOLDERS
Part bursaries is defined where accommodation fees are only partly covered by the sponsor and the shortfall must be paid up front by the applicant. The shortfall is defined as the portion of the room fee not covered by the sponsor plus the refundable breakage fee. Should you not have the full shortfall upfront please consult with our accounts manager.

NFSAS bursary applicants should note that NSFAS approval is only granted post intake and therefore cannot be used for Kovacs approval. NSFAS applicants should apply under one of the Kovacs payment plans. Should you receive NSFAS approval post intake please consult with our accounts office so that we can facilitate a revised payment plan. Kovacs receives the approved NSFAS funded list via the university. We can only change your payment plan if you are on this list.
