Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the SAICE SPEBS bursary pay?

The scheme awards up to R6 500 per student per semester, paid on merit. The funds are intended to cover registration, tuition and books, and the amount is awarded each semester depending on your examination results.

Who qualifies for the SPEBS bursary?

It supports financially needy and academically deserving students studying towards a National Diploma or Degree in Civil Engineering at a South African tertiary institution. National Diploma students must have passed their first level (S1) examinations and degree students must have passed their first year examinations.

Is the SPEBS bursary renewable?

Yes. Bursaries are granted per semester and renewed based on your examination results, so you need to keep performing academically for the award to continue.

There is no fixed annual closing date published on the official SAICE page — bursaries are granted per semester and tied to passing your S1 (diploma) or first-year (degree) examinations.
