Students with sponsors or bursaries

The letter should be addressed to the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and include a declaration stating:
- exactly what the sponsor will cover
- the period of sponsorship as well as any special conditions that pertain to the sponsorship
- the full contact details of the sponsor, as well as the contact person and/or department
