Scholar Merit Awards
The Scholar Merit Award scheme rewards top performing students for the marks achieved in the final grade 12 exams. The better the student’s marks, the greater the discount on their fees. No application is necessary – the bursary is awarded automatically. Points are awarded for the symbols obtained in each of your seven NSC subjects and the amount is linked to the total merit points achieved. NMMU Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarships
