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.


I have been accepted at the University but have no study funds, what should I do?

A problem most students face after matric, it’s not the end of the world. If you look at the options above NSFA may be the best one that you may go for at this moment.

If you meet their criteria and awarded a loan all you need to do on your side is produce best results for your first year at your University. Not only will 40% of NSFAS loan be converted into a bursary but you will also stand a good chance of obtaining a bursary from any other company/organization.

Most companies have a tendency of awarding bursaries to good performing students that have already completed their first or second year at the University rather than students fresh from matric.

If you don’t get a bursary straight away go on with the NSFAS loan maintaining a good pass rate and keep a look out for company/organisations offering bursaries to University students.

The Bursary Register, available at most high schools and at your university's financial aid office, they will provide you with a full list of bursaries available in your particular field.

Now you have passed your matric with good marks and are short of study funds, now what?

That’s the challenge most students face when they finish matric. Hence you find most youth sitting at home either looking for student jobs, part-time jobs or just becoming a burden to their parents.

The first mistake students make is to apply for a bursary after they’ve long closed. What other things are important when applying for a bursary .
