About Moshal Scholarship Program
The Moshal Scholarship Program, run by the Moshal Scholarship Program, funds STEM and Commerce degree study for students from genuinely disadvantaged backgrounds - its income ceiling is stricter than almost any other bursary on this site.
Check your household income carefully before applying: Moshal sets its ceiling at R200,000 a year, well below the R350,000-R600,000 band most "missing middle" programmes use, because it specifically targets the most financially constrained academically strong students.
Funding Details
The scholarship funds Degree studies within STEM and Commerce fields at Moshal's partner universities.
Where You Can Study
Study is limited to a specific list of partner universities: UCT, Stellenbosch, UWC, Wits, UP, UKZN, UFS, and UJ.
