About Santam Bursary
The Santam Bursary, run through Santam's Skills Development Academy, supports students entering their 2nd, 3rd, or final undergraduate year, or Honours/Postgraduate Diploma, in Actuarial, Data, Agriculture, Engineering, Finance, or Risk-related fields at Santam.
Because it excludes first-year students entirely and requires a 65%+ average in your current results (not just your Matric mark), this bursary is a better fit once you already have a proven university track record - if you're still in first year, look at other bursaries on this site first and revisit this one once you have results to show.
Funding Details
The bursary supports tuition and living costs, with hands-on experience opportunities especially for students in agriculture, data, engineering, finance, and risk-related studies.
Where You Can Study
Any recognised South African tertiary institution qualifies, provided your qualification is in Actuarial Science, Data Analytics/Data Sciences, Statistics, Agriculture, Civil Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Construction, Insurance Technical Accounting, Economics, Finance, Mathematics, or Risk Management.
