All eligible requests received before the start of the January Semester (20th January 2025) will be guaranteed consideration by the Chair of the RAU Scholarships Selection Committee.
The Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarships and Bursaries are only for applicants who meet all entry criteria (including any visa requirements) and commence their studies in January 2025.
Applicants will not need to have applied for accommodation beforehand, but will need to have been made a conditional or unconditional offer to study before the scholarship or bursary request can be considered.
