A registration fee of R261 per qualification will be charged, whether you are applying for full-time, part-time or exam only. This amount is payable upon registration. Note that you cannot pay cash at the campus.
Instead, get the institution's customised deposit slip from the campus to make your payment. Also, remember that the registration number provided by the campus must appear on the deposit slip as the reference number.
Does Ekurhuleni West College have NSFAS?
The college only helps facilitate the process of application. The needy students who may want to apply for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) bursary must upload proof of income and parents' or legal guardians' IDs.
The college offers bursaries to exceptionally needy students. However, due to bursary funds being limited, not all students who apply get it.
It is necessary to note that an application for a bursary is not a guarantee that it will be awarded. Merit bursaries are awarded to students who have excelled in their field of study in the previous year/semester/trimester at EWC.
