In 2017 the Department of Higher Education & Training will pay the fee adjustment for NSFAS students and students from the “missing middle” (South African families with a joint income not exceeding R600 000 per annum). NSFAS students do not need to apply for this grant but students in the “missing middle” must apply. If approved, the grant will result in a credit to your fee account with the effect of reducing fees to the level indicated in the tables starting on page 7 of this booklet. The application form for the “2017 DHET FEE ADJUSTMENT GRANT” is to be found at http://www.ru.ac.za/studentfeesandfinancialaid/ . The completed form, together with the supporting documents detailed on the form, should be handed in at registration.
