These awards are automatically allocated to new students on the basis of performance in the final
matriculation examination.

University.
Varsity College Students
UFS Varsity College LLB students are eligible for academic merit awards to the value of 50% of an award
of a Bloemfontein Campus student. All other terms and conditions also apply to these students.
Interruption of studies
In order to qualify for an academic merit award, a student must again register at the University as a student.
If there is an interruption of more than 5 years between the last examination, matriculation or university
and the year in which the award must be allocated, the student does not qualify for an award.
Discontinuation of study
If a student discontinues his course during the year, the award will be recovered pro rata.
Undertaking
The student undertakes to complete his degree studies at this university. If he/she does not complete the
course, Council reserves the right to claim back the award as a whole or a part thereof which may already
have been paid out to him/her. However, every case will be treated on merit.
An award may at any time be withdrawn if the behaviour, diligence or progress of the student is found to
be unsatisfactory. If the examination results of a qualifying student are such that he/she will have to repeat
the studies of a full year/semester, the award will be regarded as a study loan and it will have to be paid
back.
Occasional studies
Students who register for occasional studies do not qualify for merit awards based on their academic
achievement of the previous year nor academic achievements during their occasional studies.
