Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SATI bursary cover?

SATI bursaries are offered as full, partial or work-back bursaries and can cover tuition and study fees, study materials, accommodation, food and living expenses, and other expenses that the student is able to motivate for. The exact amount is not published as a fixed figure and depends on the type of bursary awarded.

Who is eligible for the SATI bursary?

You must be a South African citizen registered or preliminarily accepted at an accredited South African tertiary institution, studying a course relevant to the table grape industry and its value chain, with at least a 'D' symbol (above-average) in your most recent results. Both full-time and part-time students may apply, and preference is given to second-year and above students, as well as previously disadvantaged individuals, land reform beneficiaries, and farmworkers and their children already involved in the industry.

How do I apply for the SATI bursary?

Applications are submitted online through SATI's Submittable portal, which is linked from the bursaries page at satgi.co.za/support/bursaries. Create an account, complete the application for the relevant academic year, upload your supporting documents and submit before the closing date.

Is the SATI bursary renewable, and when will I hear back?

Bursaries are awarded one year at a time, so you must reapply annually and show satisfactory academic performance to continue receiving funding. SATI provides feedback to applicants by around mid-January; if you have not received a response by then, you should consider your application unsuccessful.
