Bursary and loan students

Bursary students

If a student's studies are financed by way of a bursary, written proof thereof must be submitted before or during registration. The students can submit the documents via the NWU Student Portal by navigating to My Documents.

The written proof should set out what the bursary fees should be utilised for, as well as the date when payment thereof will be made.

Studies financed by loans

If a student’s studies are financed by way of a loan, written proof thereof must be submitted through the NWU Student Portal by navigating to My Documents before or during registration.

These students:

• Must pay the University the minimum first payment from their loan within 14 calendar days of registration. Failure to adhere to this condition will result in the immediate termination of registration, and
• Must adhere strictly to the payment of the University’s required monthly instalments to settle the account by 31 July, the same as all other students.

If you have any questions, please contact us via the Student Portal Helpdesk. Select the Student Finance category, and then the Debt Collection sub-category.
