Sessional appointees will not be eligible. Part-time studies for dependent children and spouses will not be considered. Bursaries will be awarded only in respect of such students and in respect of such prescribed curricula, occasional courses, etc as are recognised by Government for the purpose of university subsidisation, and for one degree or diploma at a time per student. Staff members and their dependants will be eligible for bursaries for their first undergraduate degrees and degrees that are considered to be a higher qualification than their existing degrees. Staff members may be eligible for bursaries for their own additional postgraduate studies in fields relevant to their disciplines if they have not previously received staff bursaries for their post-graduate studies.
Bursaries cover tuition fees only.
An annual, current application must be made for a bursary and for the renewal of a bursary. Applications in retrospect will not be accepted. Support Services staff may apply for educational assistance through the Staff Educational Assistance Plan for assistance with tuition fees for their own part-time studies at recognised educational institutions other than Wits.
