1. Financial Aid Policy and Procedure

   1. For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions obtain: a bursary is a financial grant for study given on the basis of expressed need. A scholarship is a financial grant for study given on the basis of academic merit.
   2. Bursaries and scholarships are not granted unless there are funds available for this purpose. If funds are available, bursaries and scholarships will be granted for all qualifications offered by St Augustine (postgraduate and undergraduate degrees andcertificate courses).
   3. Bursaries and scholarships awarded might be for 25%, 50% or 75% of the tuition fee. In deserving circumstances a subsistence supplementation might also be awarded.
   4. Bursaries are awarded either per annum or for a period of six months for those in the 2nd academic intake of the undergraduate programme. Any module failed after and including the second module of a course of study might result in the bursary being cancelled with immediate effect. Should a student Fail Absent (FABS), the bursary might be cancelled immediately. Depending on the circumstances the student might be liable for the costs of any and all failed module(s) including the first.
   5. Application for Financial Aid

      2. For postgraduate bursaries, the candidate must first apply for admission.
      3. Bursary Application Forms are available on the St Augustine website.
   6. Only the President can grant exemptions to this policy.
