Dear Nompumelelo

Unfortunately we do not offer bursaries of scholarships; We provide career information.

We suggest you contact the Financial Aid Office of the university, where you plan to further your studies, for information on the bursaries and loans you may be eligible to apply for.  They will also be able to tell you if you are eligible to apply for a loan from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (www.nsfas.org.za). While the NSFAS does not handle individual applications for funding at their offices, contact their Call Centre on 021 763 3232 for more information on Financial Aid Offices where you plan to study.

Some organizations also provide bursaries and scholarships. However, these usually only specific application criteria for example some bursaries require you to study commerce, science or engineering degrees with majors in computer science, information systems and various engineering and technology disciplines.  Try some of the following:

• Study Trust: http://www.studytrust.org.za/,
• African Scholars Fund: P O Box 294 Rondebosch 7700, email address: office@asf.org.za

For more contact details of organizations that offer bursaries visit to the Career Planet bursary page http://www.careerplanet.co.za/_pages/bursaries. Please make sure you meet application deadline dates. The dates given are the date that the bursary scheme should receive the application, so post your application forms at least a week in advance of the due date.

Best wishes for your future studies.
