Before registering as a student at the University of Zululand, you need to determine whether you will have sufficient funds to finance your studies. Don’t let the stress get to you and rather have the energy to find a solution be fueled. Here's some ways to be funded if you choose to study at Unizulu.
Merit Bursaries for first year matric students: This bursary is for first year matric students that performed at achievement levels of between 7 and 5. The University funds them fully from registration, and continue to fund them if they continue to pass and drop no modules during the course of their studies.
Merit Bursaries for senior students: These look at the top performers last year or year last registered on campus. Unizulu focuses on distinction and first class students that do not fail any module, undergraduate academic programme, and doing the full number of modules in any particular year.
