The University manages various loan funds on behalf of various donors. Awarding of study loans is subject to registered students being financially needy.
These study loans are primarily approved for the payment of tuition fees and will be administered accordingly.
The loan amounts vary from R500 to R20 000 and are repayable at an interest rate of prime -1%. (Prime as on 1 January of the year in which the loan was issued.)
Loan re-payment commences once the student completes the study programme. Interest is payable during the year in which the loan is granted.
To be considered for a UP managed loan, applicants must provide two guarantors who comply with the conditions as determined by the University.
UP managed loans are not guaranteed and are subject to availability of funds.
