Bursary Programmes

 Bursaries
A bursary is financial assistance awarded to a student for further study or training.  These are awarded for numerous reasons, primarily academic merit and/or financial need.  Some bursaries may have conditions attached, for example, performance targets, employment contracts or commitment to participation within the community.
