    1. anele,

      start applying to as many bursaries online as possible – they are the easiest to apply to. Go to your government website and search ‘bursaries’. If you have question on something – call them about it. APPLY TO YOUR GOVERNMENT BURSARY PROGRAMS FIRSTLY!!! Ask them for advice for the country where you live about student financial aid. Go to your college/university and talk to someone in the FinAids department about student aid you can apply for NOW!

  12. im requesting for bursary because i dont have parents my is arrested for killing my mother and he setenced for 20 years

    1. liptures,

      you must apply to bursaries to see if you qualify for them. Go directly to the bursary sponsors website to apply. We do not offer direct bursary programs but write about those who do. I recommend that you talk with the FinAids manager at the college you attend to see what specific student aid programs you may be eligible for. Look into YOUR government bursary programs.

    1. Sbusiso,

      we do not offer bursaries but only write about them so students can discover them and apply to them. You must apply directly via the bursary sponsors website to see if you qualify for it.

  16. Hi I’m currently in grd12..my required field is teaching at primary schools unfortunately I dnt have sufficient funds to pursue this next year.I would like to know if there are any bursaries that I could apply for?..thank you

    1. viloshnee,

      bursaries are need based so you should apply to as many as you seem to fit their criteria; especially your government bursary programs.

  17. Hy I’m nthaby from freestate I want a bursary for start doing the teaching cause next year. I’m not schooling nw since I stayed home after my matric could u pls tell me which channels should I follow. I really need help.

    1. nthabiseng,

      first look into your own government provided bursaries (via your government website). Next sit down with a FinAids specialist at a college to discuss all the student aid you may be eligible to apply to. Next, look online to programs which you can submit an application right over the internet to their website. This is a quick way to apply and you can apply to more of them this way.

    1. MAKAU,

      since you’re already at TUT I would make an appointment with the financial aids manager to discuss your student aid options and what bursary programs you can apply to. New bursary programs come into all colleges each and every month and there may one which can qualify for.

  19. I am Daisy from TUT doing retail business management second year and I am studying with the bursary from W&RSETA which I got last year. I need to know when will we receive it because it almost May now and I am really struggling, I do not have text books and they are really expensive which makes it hard for me to study.

    1. Daisy,

      you must contact the sponsor of the bursary program you have directly via their contact webpage…
