What SA Bursary Hub is

This is an independent directory of funding for South African students: corporate and foundation bursaries, government and SETA programmes, university scholarships, learnerships and graduate internships. Each listing summarises who the funder is looking for, what the award covers and when applications close, and then sends you to the organisation's own application page to apply.

It is built for matriculants deciding where to apply, students already at a university or TVET college who still need to cover fees or accommodation, and graduates looking for internships and graduate programmes. Parents, teachers and Life Orientation departments use it too.

Nothing here is behind a login or a paywall, and we never ask for an ID number or banking details. If a site ever asks you to pay to apply for a bursary, that is not a bursary.

How to use the search

1. Start with your field of study (engineering, accounting, nursing, teaching, IT) by typing it in the search box or tapping a category above.
2. Narrow by province, qualification level and closing month. You can also filter by institution if you already know where you are registered.
3. Sort by closing date and work through what closes first. The Closing soon page shows everything with a deadline in the next 30 days.
4. Not sure what you qualify for? The eligibility checker asks eight questions and shortlists the listings that match your profile.
5. Open the listing, read the eligibility and required documents, then apply on the funder's official site. Save your reference number.

Applying on the official page matters: it is the only place your documents are actually received, the only version of the criteria that counts, and the only way to be sure a closing date has not moved.
