Frequently Asked Questions
Who administers the SANA Bursary?
The South African Nursery Association (SANA), the industry body for South Africa's nursery, horticulture, and landscaping sector.
What does the bursary cover?
Tuition fees for the current academic year only, paid directly to the institution - it does not cover registration, accommodation, books, or travel.
Do I need to be a first-year student?
No - in its most recent cycle it required applicants to have already completed their first year with a 60% average per subject, so it is not aimed at incoming first-years.
How do I apply?
By emailing SANA directly, rather than through an online application portal.
When does the next cycle open?
SANA has not yet published opening or closing dates for the next intake. Its most recent cycle closed on 31 March 2026 - a useful indicator of timing, but confirm with SANA before relying on it.
