Orange Carpet Rewards Programme

Could you be called an overachiever?

The University of Johannesburg’s Top Achieving Orange Carpet Rewards Programme is all about rewarding excellence at school and embracing accomplishment. So, if you are a Grade 12 learner and thrive on achieving only the best, you are just the diamond we are looking for and we will reward you handsomely!

Benefits

  • The academic registration fee is waived, thus you do not have to pay it.
  • You will receive a merit bursary according to your APS for the first year of study. The better your Grade 12 results, the bigger your merit bursary!
  • UJ will give you a R2 000 voucher which you can use to purchase textbooks or towards the purchase of a tablet with one of UJ’s main suppliers on campus.
  • An APS of more than 42 on your Grade 12 results gives you an extra R5 485 bursary.
  • You will be guaranteed accommodation in a UJ residence if you plan to live on campus, and have applied to a UJ residence. Your residence deposit is waived, thus you do not have to pay for it.
  • You are eligible for a sport bursary if you have achieved at provincial or a higher level.
  • And many more on-campus benefits like career counselling, invitations to exclusive events and into the VIP sections at UJ sporting events!

NOTE: The Orange Carpet rewards do not cover the UJ residence application, registration or fees. The rewards also do not extend to any forms of accommodation or the costs associated with travelling to and from UJ.
Furthermore daily living costs are not covered. Thus the rewards extended only tuition fees and other non-financial benefits.
