About Nicasia Holdings Aon Bursary
The Nicasia Holdings & Aon Bursary is a joint programme between Nicasia Holdings (Pty) Ltd, a South African youth-development company, and Aon South Africa, the local arm of the global insurance broking and risk-management firm Aon plc. The programme funds South African students studying toward qualifications linked to finance, insurance, risk management, and engineering.
The bursary is aimed specifically at students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds who have no other funding in place. Nicasia Holdings has stated that applicants already receiving NSFAS support or another bursary will not be considered, so the programme is designed to reach students who would otherwise struggle to fund their studies.
Reported total funding value has been cited at up to R120,000 per student across the duration of study, though applicants should confirm the exact package directly with Nicasia Holdings, since a full public breakdown has not been published on an official corporate bursary page.
Funding Details
Reported coverage includes tuition, textbooks, and accommodation, along with a monthly allowance, with a total reported value of up to R120,000 per student. Because this figure comes from secondary bursary-listing sites rather than a detailed official breakdown, applicants should confirm the exact benefits directly with Nicasia Holdings once they request an application form.
Where You Can Study
No narrow list of approved universities has been published; eligibility appears to depend mainly on your field of study and financial need rather than a specific institution.
