Funding for KwaZulu-Natal studies may be offered by employers, professional bodies, foundations, government departments and education partners. The exact fields and institutions funded depend on each programme.
What to look for in a bursary
Check whether the bursary specifically funds KwaZulu-Natal, whether your institution and study level are accepted, and whether there are province, citizenship, academic or household-income requirements.
Typical application preparation
Prepare your identity documents, latest academic results, proof of admission or application, household-income evidence and any motivation, CV or reference requested.
Career and work-back conditions
Some KwaZulu-Natal bursaries are linked to scarce skills or future employment. Read any vacation-work or post-study service obligation before accepting an award.
