A bursary is financial assistance from a company, government department, or foundation to help South African students cover tuition, accommodation, and living expenses. Unlike a student loan, a bursary does not need to be repaid — although some bursaries require you to work for the sponsoring organisation after graduation.

Most bursaries open between March and October for the following year. Corporate bursaries (Eskom, Sasol, Anglo) often open as early as April — apply as soon as they open.
