About Investec Bursary
The Investec Bursary is run by Investec for first-year students in fields connected to financial services - a wide list including Actuarial Science, Business Science, Commerce, Commercial LLB, Computer Science, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics, Medicine, and Science.
This bursary is strictly a first-year (or Grade 12) entry point - second and third-year students are explicitly excluded, unlike the separate Investec Tech Scholarship on this site, which funds later years. Applying to the wrong Investec programme for your year of study is a common, easily avoidable mistake.
Funding Details
Successful applicants receive financial support for study-related expenses, plus mentorship, personal development, and work-readiness opportunities.
Where You Can Study
Any recognised public South African university qualifies, provided your qualification is in a financial-services-relevant field.
