Finance and Food Security


Do you want to learn more about budgeting?

Please schedule an appointment with a social worker for individual tailor-made budgeting sessions.

Please contact the Stellenbosch Campus social worker or the social worker at our Tygerberg campus if you would like to donate to the food pantry.

Or be part of the #Move4Food campaign. 
As part of the Bridge the Gap (BTG) initiative, #Move4Food continues to raise awareness, reduce stigma around hunger, and bring the university community together to support students in need. Your contribution to #Move4Food will provide immediate assistance to students in need, helping them focus on their academic success without worrying about food security.

Students who are funded by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) should apply for top-up or shortfall funding on the CUBL website Stellenbosch University Centre for Undergraduate Bursaries and Loans  as the funding that students receive through the NSFAS bursary is not enough to cover all tuition, accommodation and meal costs per year.   
 

Stellenbosch University’s Co-Curricular Support Fund (SUCSF) is a student travel bursary fund for national and international co-curricular events, such as student leadership conferences and other opportunities that would benefit our students and our community. The SUCSF, unfortunately, does not supply funding to students who need to do an internship.  

Am I eligible to apply for funding? 
•    Does the event have a co-curricular theme?  
•    Will I graduate within the minimum duration of my programme, plus one year?  
•    If this is my first year at SU, have I successfully completed my first semester?  

What can I use the funds for? 
•     Airfare   
•    Visa fees  
•     Conference fees  
•    Accommodation  
•    Transfers

Applications are considered at the discretion of the SUCSF committee. 
 

  •  For fee enquiries, please contact SU Student Fees division.
