Emeris is keenly aware of the fact that many prospective students in South Africa struggle to afford educational fees at top quality institutions. As part of our efforts to allow broader access and play a meaningful part in the educational development of South African citizens, Emeris is introducing a fee assistance plan to offer financial assistance for prospective new students.
Prospective new students who have applied at Emeris, who are from homes with a household income of less than R700,000 per annum and who meet the eligibility criteria, can apply for reduced concessionary fees online via our application portal.
Fee Assistance Plan awards are limited and terms and conditions will apply. Prospective students may speak to a Student Advisor on campus.
Emeris offers a range of scholarships, bursaries and awards. New students can speak to a student advisor at their nearest campus, while returning students can enquire at the Customer Relations Centre.
