BURSARIES
Merit bursaries
Academic merit bursaries are awarded annually
on the grounds of exceptional academic
achievement. This is determined according
to marks obtained in the six best subjects
(excluding LO) on your senior certificate. Your
final senior certificate will determine your first
year bursary. Bursaries for second and third
year studies will be awarded according to the
average obtained in the June and December
University examinations.
Orange Carpet
The Orange Carpet rewards programme is a
UJ initiative to further recognise top achievers.
The objective of the campaign is to allow top-
performing learners early conditional admission
to the University as well as special benefits. To
qualify for these benefits, a learner must obtain
at least an Admission Point Score (APS) of 37 and
above with a level 6 or higher in all subjects in
either their final grade 11 or final grade 12 results.
Final acceptance, for applicants conditionally
admitted based on their final grade 11 results,
will be dependent on the learner maintaining
these results in their final grade 12 results.
Final admission to the Orange Carpet initiative
for applicants writing final grade 12 other than
the NSC or IEB, will be based on the discretion
of the relevant Faculty
.
This initiative begins from February and
closes with all undergraduate programmes
on 30 September. Submit your application
without delay or call Student Marketing for any
enquiries: 011 559 6680.

Please note
: Bursary values are based on a specific curriculum’s
tuition fees. The APS will only be calculated on the best six Grade 12
subjects obtained.
* Life Orientation is NOT calculated in the APS.
Only prospective students who are entering for
their first undergraduate studies are eligible for
the Orange Carpet initiative. Prospective students
who have already undertaken studies at UJ or
elsewhere are not eligible for this initiative.
UJ Jenius Club
After first year registration, Orange Carpet
members will become UJenius club members.
To join or to keep UJenius Club membership
for the 2nd, 3rd and final year of your
undergraduate study, students need to have
achieved a year average of 75% in the preceding
year, on a full course load, and with no module
below 70%.
UJenius club members will qualify for the
following benefits:
A UJenius Merit bursary.
Library privileges that are the same as those
for postgraduate students.
Exclusive invitation to prestigious events.
Students with a consistent UJenius club
membership for a period of three years
will be given preference for ‘study abroad’
programmes.
