Bursaries, grants and scholarships are wonderful resources to help you finance your post-secondary education. Not only will they add to your available funding, but they also provide money that does not need to be paid back.
Bursaries are non-repayable awards granted to students who can demonstrate financial need. They are designed to assist students in completing their studies and to supplement, not replace other forms of funding or resources.
Some bursaries have specific eligibility criteria such as the applicant’s city, region, or program of study. Part-time bursaries are for students who have not been full-time within the last 12 months.
There are more applicants than available bursaries. The submission of an application does not guarantee that you will receive a bursary. Priority will be given to students who demonstrate urgent financial need.
