Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Netcare bursary for 2027?
Not one you can apply to directly. As of 12 October 2026 Netcare's official pages advertise no open external bursary for school leavers or university students. Listings claiming an email-based Netcare bursary for Pharmacy and Commerce could not be verified.
Can Netcare fund my nursing studies?
Netcare Education trains nurses, with pre-selection through KR Education. Its applicant information says HWSETA bursaries and other financial support are not available to first-year students at the start of the programme; where support is offered later, it is awarded on merit.
Does Netcare fund paramedic or emergency-care studies?
Netcare Education's Faculty of Emergency and Critical Care says it currently does not have study bursaries available, so students must fund their own tuition. Netcare also warns about scam adverts selling paid-for Netcare 911 learnerships.
What should I apply for instead?
Look at open health-science bursaries such as provincial health department bursaries and the other medical bursaries listed on All Bursaries, and apply for NSFAS if your household income qualifies.
