Before you apply
General guidance from SA Bursary Finder, based on how South African bursary applications are usually assessed. The funder's own page is always the final authority on criteria and dates.
Who should apply
- Students studying or planning to study Commerce and Actuarial Science.
- Applicants at Undergraduate, Diploma and Honours level.
- Students from all nine provinces.
- Applicants who can produce certified copies of their ID, latest results and proof of household income before the closing date.
Why this one may suit you
Check the funding amount and what it covers on Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority's official page. Partial awards are still worth applying for: many students fund a year by combining two or three partial bursaries that each cover a different cost, such as tuition, accommodation or books.
Many South African bursaries carry a work-back obligation, you work for the funder for roughly the same number of years they funded you. That is usually a benefit, because it means employment after graduation, but read the contract clause before you accept anything.
Documents to prepare
Certified copy of your ID, latest academic results or matric certificate, proof of acceptance or registration at a recognised institution, proof of household income, and a short motivation letter.
- Certified copy of your ID, and of your parents' or guardian's IDs
- Latest academic results or Grade 11/12 report
- Proof of household income: payslips, SASSA or UIF letter, or an affidavit
- Proof of acceptance or registration at your institution
- A one-page CV and a motivational letter addressed to Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority
Certification is free at any police station, and most funders will not accept a stamp older than three to six months.
Mistakes that cost applicants this bursary
- Submitting an incomplete pack, incomplete applications are usually closed without being assessed
- Uploading photographs of documents instead of clear scans, or files above the portal's size limit
- Sending a generic motivational letter that never mentions Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority or what they do
- Overstating results; funders verify marks with schools, institutions and the Department of Basic Education
- Using an email address or phone number you do not check, shortlisted students are often contacted once
- Paying anyone to apply on your behalf. No legitimate bursary charges an application fee.
Apply early
No closing date has been published for this opportunity, which usually means applications are considered on an ongoing basis or the funder has not announced dates yet. Apply as soon as your documents are ready and check the official page periodically for an announced deadline.
Apply to several bursaries in parallel. Most funded students applied for between five and fifteen.
