About SASMT Study Bursary
The SASMT Study Bursary, run by the South African Society of Music Teachers, funds music study for the Society's own members - it is not open to the general public, and it is awarded only every second year.
Check your SASMT membership status and duration before applying: you need more than two years of paid-up membership, so joining the Society right before applying won't make you eligible.
Funding Details
The bursary supports music study costs, awarded biennially (every second year) to successful SASMT members.
