** A National Benchmarking Test for some institutions (academic and behavioral strength)
** Matric results
** Funder constraints (that meet individual funder objectives) which will be applied to students applying

The cost of funding varies per institution as ISFAP funds full cost of study. The average full cost of study per student is R166 668.00 (value based on funding of over 1700 students across multiple universities and courses)
How will funding work?
Each student will receive enough funding to cover all tuition costs as well as accommodation and travel (if the student does not have accommodation), books, meals and a stipend (living allowance). This will be through a fully funded grant bursary. In addition, the Universities will provide students with academic support, social support, life skills training and medical support when required.
