Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bursary cover any degree?
Yes, any 3-4 year degree programme qualifies - there is no field restriction.
What matters more for selection, academics or need?
Both together - selection weighs Grade 12 results and financial need as combined factors, not either one in isolation.

Is there a work-back requirement?
