About The University of South Africa (UNISA)

The University of South Africa is the longest-standing open distance education university globally. It is also one of Africa’s largest open-distance universities. The university offers the following courses to their students – short courses, three or four-year degrees, certificate programs and diplomas.

UNISA aims to be committed to the South African communities and the South African individuals. The university believes in giving back to South African communities, so UNISA’s Postgraduate Diploma and Honours Bursary 2022 was introduced.

The UNISA Postgraduate Diploma and Honours Bursary 2022

The UNISA Postgraduate Diploma and Honours Bursary 2022 aims to help UNISA alumni who are South African students with their tuition fees. This will enable them to register for their postgraduate education at UNISA that they have fully funded. The bursary is awarded to students doing their postgraduate diploma and honours programmes.

What is offered?

The UNISA Postgraduate Diploma and Honours Bursary 2022 covers only the tuition fee of the eligible students.

UNISA will partner with the CGS Postgraduate bursaries Administration and the Division of Student Funding (DSF) to decide on the amounts awarded to individual applicants. Their decision will be final.

Students with higher score averages in their undergraduate education will be given priority. The students on the lower side may or may not get the bursary amount depending on the availability of funds.
