Read these 10 must know guidelines when applying for a bursary, scholarship and student funding. You really want to ensure that you get noticed among the dozens of other applicants. To get noticed means that you must also have a sound understanding of what you are applying for.
Preparing for a bursary should start at school, strive for the best in your grade 11 and 12 marks so you can meet the bursary’s academic criteria. To be safe obtain an average of 65% and above in all your subjects.
As the year begins gather all the company details that offer bursaries which cover your field of study (bursary officer’s contact details, application process, application schedules and bursary criteria), normally this will be covered on the company’s website.
While some will actually advertise online or on some newspapers when their bursary programme is opened, it is best to take initiative and find out if there are any bursaries on offer. Browse the net and buy the relevant newspapers.
