About Financial Aid
Cornerstone is an independent, not-for-profit institution. Our financial aid is sourced from donations and partnerships.
The Financial Aid Programme is established to assist students, where possible, in accessing tertiary study and succeeding through the provision of financial assistance. Financial assistance is usually in the form of partial remission of fees and is dependent on the availability of funds and the specified criteria being met.
The responsibility for financing the balance of the fees rests with the student, as specified in the Cornerstone Yearbook under Fee Structure.
Eligibility criteria: South African citizens or permanent residents, proven academic potential, demonstrated financial need, and acceptance into a Cornerstone undergraduate or postgraduate programme.
