If you are unsure of anything related to the 2017 fee adjustment (missing middle) grant application process, we suggest that you work through the following frequently asked questions - you might find your answers here.
In November 2016, the Minister of Higher Education and Training announced that Government would subsidise the fee adjustment for all qualifying registered students with a combined family income of up to R600 000 per annum in 2017. If approved, this subsidy will be in the form of a grant (not a loan), which will reflect on the student's fee account.
The fee adjustment (missing middle) grant will only cover the difference between Unisa's 2016 and 2017 student fees. This means that you may receive between R40 and R200 per module, depending on whether you are registered for undergraduate or honours modules.
We encourage you to apply for the 2017 fee adjustment (missing middle) grant even if you are not sure if you meet the necessary criteria.
