NMMU Bursaries has Scholarships to Consider

There are funds through NMMU bursaries and scholarships because they feel that investing in the future of people is well worth it. They don’t view college as an expense but as a great investment that can make a difference. People that have a degree tend to earn more and they also seem to be happier because they go to work every day doing something that they love.

What are NMMU Bursaries?

If you aren’t familiar with the meaning of the letters, they stand for Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. This bursary is offered for students that attend the university. They also need to specialize in the B Ed or PGCE degree program that this university offers. Students that receive it will be required to teach for the same number of years that they got it at a public school. The maximum term for receiving the bursary is four years. This program is available to African Americans that live in South America.

Sources of Funding for NMMU Bursaries

The different sources of funding affect the amount of money offered through these bursaries and scholarships. The awards are also often financial need based. It is important to know that they aren’t government funded though. This means you could still qualify for some forms of financial aid through those government programs in addition to any bursaries.

Applying for NMMU Bursary Funds

Depending on the source of the funding, you may have to apply for NMMU bursaries funds or you may not. Sometimes, they are combined with your other financial aid forms. You just sign to give your consent that you agree for that information to be shared for determining eligibility for bursaries. Some schools do require a separate application though so you need to ask about this. You also need to find out when the deadline is so that you don’t miss getting your application submitted.

The Sepp Blatter Scholarship

This is a scholarship for African American students that show significant financial need. The funds can be quite substantial but they will go to those that show the best potential and the most need for the funds. The amount depends on the funding that is in place at that time.

Joshua Fullard Research Scholarship

This scholarship is offered to students that have a high GPA and that have significant financial need. There is an application that needs to be completed, but the deadline can vary based on the school. Make sure you ask about this particular program if you are in dire need of money to pay for your education. These funds vary in amount, but they are often very generous in terms of the amount dispersed.

Postgraduate NMMU Bursaries

Many of the NMMU bursaries offered are for postgraduate students. The funds are often dispersed for those that are studying in the areas of research and development. The amount of money available depends on the funding for that year and the number of applicants. The award amount also depends on the financial need of the recipient or recipients.

          we do not provide bursaries directly. You must apply to them. We highlight many on our website. You must go directly to the bursary sponsors website to apply.
