List of Available Bursaries in South Africa 2022 – 2023
Are you looking for a bursary for funding your education in South Africa? We have a comprehensive online list of all available top and latest bursaries for 2022 in South Africa and we are adding more bursary programmes each week.
One of the biggest investments you can make is in your education. Whether you are in your last year of school and considering going to University, a current student struggling to continue paying for education or if you have a strong academic history then a bursary or scholarship could be a great option for you.
Bursaries and Scholarships are one of the best ways to finance your studies and achieve goals in higher education without having to spend a large amount of money. It reduces the cost of postgraduate studies and the liability of debt because they don’t have to be repaid.
If you do not fully understand what a bursary is and how to get one, the following information will help guide you through the process.
What is a Bursary and How Does it Work?
A Bursary is a sum of money that is awarded to enable someone to study at a university or college. A lot of organisations, government or corporate, will offer the bursary to study at a university and will cover the costs of full tuition fees. Sometimes the bursary will also cover additional costs involved in studying such as textbooks, laptop, living allowance for meals and accommodation.
Often the organisation providing the bursary will require that the individual (bursar) completes work or a training program for that organisation after completing their studies. This is beneficial for both the bursar and the organisation as the bursar is provided with employment after completing their course and the organisation has a well-trained and educated member to join their team.
