[schumi]

Cape Town - The Stellenbosch University Council has approved the institution’s integrated budget for 2017, which makes provision for an 8 percent general increase in tuition fees and a 10 percent increase in accommodation fees.

However, students from families with a household income of R600 000 or less per year will pay the same tuition and accommodation fees as in 2015 and 2016.

Council chairman George Steyn said the council also supported the institution’s stance that academically deserving students from poor and working class families should receive substantial financial support.
