Makerere University has officially announced a significant change in the application process for government sponsorship for the 2025/2026 academic year.
The Academic Registrar, Prof. Buyinza Mukadasi, communicated that the application process will now be conducted electronically through the Academic Management Information System (ACMIS).
This new online system allows School Administrators to input the required details of students seeking government sponsorship for Public Universities and other Tertiary Institutions.
The university has laid out a clear timeline for the rollout of the new system;
- From 1st to 4th October 2024, awareness meetings will be conducted virtually via Zoom with school administrators to brief them on the new process.
- From 14th October to 4th November 2024, regional physical meetings will also take place to ensure that administrators are familiar with the ACMIS system.
- The actual PUJAB online application process will then run from 4th November to 31st December 2024.
Each applicant must pay a non-refundable application fee of UGX 52,000. Payments will be made using a pay reference number (PRN) generated by the ACMIS portal, which can be paid at any bank utilized by the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) before submitting the application.
To assist administrators, the university will provide Zoom links, user guides, and other relevant information via previously submitted school contacts.
