Welcome to Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票

Food security programmes and emergency relief

??At Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 (SU) we believe that no student should be burdened with the stress of food insecurity and for this reason the 中国体育彩票 has implemented long-term and sustainable food security programmes that can be accessed by all students.  Students who are facing food insecurity can apply for assessment for eligibility for food assistance via the appropriate 中国体育彩票 channels. To streamline the application process, we have set our guidelines according to the following categories:

  • Students who receive a bursary or financial assistance
  • Students who do not receive financial support
  • Food emergencies for students who need immediate relief

Food Security is a dynamic process and services may change. This page contains the latest information.?


STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE A BURSARY OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS)

Student who receive funding from NSFAS have food allowances. The allowance is converted into a quarterly capped meal quota and monthly cash food allowance , allowing for three meals per day for the full academic year. This process is regulated by NSFAS.


Bursaries and sponsorships?

In emergency situations, students who receive private bursaries or sponsorships can apply to be considered eligible for food support from SU. Food assistance may take the form of a meal quota or funds paid into a student bank account, usually in the form of a once-off allocation.

Application process: Request for an emergency food allowance can be directed to the Centre for Undergraduate Bursaries and Loans.  A holistic assessment of the student's financial needs will be undertaken. For more information contact ahmeda@?sun.ac.za.?

Missing middle students with partial funding

Students who receive loans or bursaries from SU and who do not receive a food allowance in their financial aid package can apply for emergency support from SU.
