The Faculty of Theology has launched an initiative to award Hons Bursaries within the Faculty of Theology to our current final year graduating and qualifying undergraduate students who are also interested in doing a Masters and PhD degree within the Faculty of Theology at the North-West University. This bursary scheme aims to provide financial support to promising postgraduate students within the Faculty of Theology, who cannot afford tertiary education and to give recognition to you as one of our students who performs academically very well.
These Faculty Hons Bursaries (FHB) will cover the full tuition fee of a one-year Hons degree within the Faculty and is valid only once. The Hons degree must be completed in a grace period of one year.
The minimum average to qualify for an FHB is an average of at least 65% in an applicant’s final year of undergraduate studies.
Considering the above, the following procedure needs to be followed:
Only prospective, qualifying Hons students can apply for an FHB by completing the FHB application form. This completed document together with the required documentation need to be returned to facultybursary@nwu.ac.za before 11 January 2027. No late applications will be accepted. Incomplete application forms will deem to be invalid and will not be considered.
The Faculty Bursary Committee will meet before the end of January 2027 to address the received bursary applications.
Students receiving FHB’s will be notified accordingly.
The bursary amount is repayable if a student fails to comply with any of the conditions below:
- Terminate studies.
- Does not complete the course within the prescribed period of one year.
The University also offers NWU Hons Bursaries.
