Accreditations
StayHope accepts NSFAS funded students, bursary holders and cash paying students, and runs its residence to the standards required of accredited student accommodation.
Checking us out before you apply? Good. Ask any provider for their accreditation status in writing before you pay anything. Ask us for ours.
Institutions
UMP and TUT accredited
StayHope is accredited with the University of Mpumalanga and the Tshwane University of Technology, and accommodates students from Rosebank International University College, Eduvos, Boston City Campus and Unigrad College.
Funding
NSFAS and bursary students
We accept students funded by NSFAS as well as students on institutional, government and private bursaries. Your funder is invoiced directly where your funding arrangement allows for it.
Bring your funding confirmation or bursary letter with your application. If your funding is delayed, which happens most years, talk to us early rather than letting your account fall behind.
Note that you remain personally responsible for any amount your funding does not cover, including damages and outstanding balances.
