About All Bursaries
All Bursaries is a free, independent directory of bursaries, scholarships, and student funding opportunities available to South African students. We exist to make the search for financial aid simple, current, and trustworthy.
What we do
We catalogue bursaries across every major field of study - engineering, medicine, accounting, teaching, computer science, agriculture, the arts and more - and we keep the eligibility criteria, application deadlines and funding amounts as up to date as possible. We currently track 55+ bursaries, and we expand the directory continuously.
Every bursary page tells you what the funder wants, how much they offer, when applications open and close, and where to apply. We do not act as a middleman: applications go directly to the funder.
Who we serve
Grade 12 learners deciding what to study, current undergraduates looking for funding, postgraduate students seeking research support, and parents helping their children navigate the post-school landscape. The information on this site is free and we do not charge for any service.

Read full bio →How we verify information
Each bursary entry is researched from the funder's official sources - company careers pages, SETA websites, government department portals, university financial-aid offices. Where deadlines or amounts change between cycles, we update the page and record a verified date so you know how current the information is.
