This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/wits-university-council-merit-scholarship
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
Very little to fill in, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] studying in South Africa, at Wits in Johannesburg
[ ] already registered as a Wits undergraduate and returning next year
[ ] an overall average of 75 percent or above
[ ] full time only. Part time students do not qualify.
[ ] first attempt undergraduate degree only, and not if you are in your final year, since the award would fall in a year you are not studying
[ ] if you also receive NSFAS funding, the University award is recorded on your transcript but not paid

2. WHAT TO GET READY
It says no documents are needed.
In their words: "None. No application is required."

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)
- On the date, the listing says: There is no application and no deadline. Wits states 'No application is necessary for this Scholarship. If you qualify, your account will be automatically updated.' All University Council funds are allocated by the end of March.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
