After matric: applying and paying for study
Some universities charge nothing to apply, and some waive the fee. These are their own rules, checked on 7 November 2026. Most applications for 2027 closed in September and October 2026. Rules and dates change every year, so confirm on the university's website before you apply.
- University of the Free State: No application fee (2027 applications).
- University of Johannesburg: No application fee for online applications.
- University of Mpumalanga: No application fee from the 2027 academic year.
- University of Venda: No application fee.
- Central University of Technology: No application fee.
- Nelson Mandela University: No application fee for South African citizens.
- University of the Western Cape: No application fee (2027 application guide).
- University of Pretoria: R300 to apply for 2027, waived if your household income is R150 000 a year or less. You upload proof of income with the application.
- Stellenbosch University: R100 for South African citizens and permanent residents to apply for 2027. The online system asks for R400: pay only R100 by EFT, or pay R400 online and get R300 back. Depending on the quintile of your school, undergraduate applicants may pay nothing: the application then shows the fee as R0.00. South Africans applying to the Stellenbosch or Tygerberg campus who cannot pay can send the university a motivation: the fee guide linked here gives the address.
- NSFAS: The government's student funding scheme for study at public universities and TVET colleges. Applications for 2027 funding closed on 31 October 2026; the website has the rules and lets you track an application.
- Career advice (Khetha): The Department of Higher Education and Training's career advice service: call 086 999 0123 or SMS 072 204 5056.
This list may be incomplete: other universities may also be free to apply, and some charge a fee. It is not a recommendation of any university.
