Bursaries and Bursary Applications ExplainedMoney worries can often be a problem once you've decided on your study path. This section explores

more information on what a bursary is, as well as tips on how to apply.

A bursary is financial support towards your studies, which is awarded to students based on a

combination of academic achievements and financial need. While a bursary does not need to be paid

back directly in money, students are usually required to work for the company or organisation for a set

amount of time following graduation as a form of “pay back”.

Bursaries are usually awarded by a company, organisation or institution for study in a particular field.

Some bursaries cover students for only a year, while others last for the whole length of their studies. In

order to keep the bursary, you will need to keep your academic achievement high. Bursaries also differ

in terms of what they will cover. Some cover just the cost of your tuition, while others provide for living

costs and books, as well as other expenses.

In order to apply for a bursary you need to have high school marks (at least 60% or higher), and the

required subjects. Each bursary is different, so make sure you check their requirements. Even though

some organisations will offer bursaries based on financial need, they will also consider your academic

progress. You will need to apply to and be accepted at an institution, and in some cases, you will

require South African citizenship.

So, how do you go about applying for a bursary? Take a look at the bursary application process

diagram on the next page to get started.

Bursary Application Steps1) Good School Marks

• School marks are an important part of getting a bursary, so work hard in Grade 11 and 12.

• Try to keep your average in all subjects above 65%

2) Apply Early the Year Before You Want to Study

• Apply for your bursary early in Grade 12, if you want to study the following year.

• Applications close anytime between April and August, so make sure you apply in plenty of time.

3) Search for Information

• Search for companies offering bursaries by using this guide, the internet or newspapers.

• Gather all the details of companies offering bursaries in your area of study.

4) Get an Application Form

• For some companies, you need to write a letter to get a bursary application form (see the

example at the end of this guide).

• For other companies, you can download the information online, or send through an e-mail.

• Once you have the form, note the following:

◦ Criteria for the bursary (check again to see if you meet their requirements)

◦ Opening and closing dates for applications

◦ Information and documents required

5) Collect your Information & Documents

• Prepare all the information that may be needed on yourself, your family, financial circumstances

and studies.

• Common documents that are required are:

◦ Photocopy of ID

◦ Academic records for Grade 11 and/or 12

◦ Passport photograph

6) Complete and Send in your Application

• Complete all the areas of the application form carefully. You might want to prepare your

answers on a separate piece of paper before copying them onto the form.

• Provide exactly the required documentation (nothing less, nothing more).

• If there is no space for a motivation, then you can provide a motivational letter (see example at

the end of this brochure).

• Post or e-mail your application to the correct address (or complete it online) well ahead of time,

and remember to also provide your correct contact details as requested.

• Keep a copy of your application form as you might be asked about it at your interview. If you fill

your form out online, then print out a copy.

7) Apply for a Number of Bursaries

• Competition for bursaries is tough, and thousands of people apply. Therefore, apply for a

number of bursaries to increase your chances.

8) Apply to University

• Applying for a bursary is a separate process to applying for a bursary.

• Apply to a few universities before their closing deadlines, as competition for places is tough.

101


• The degree that you are applying for a bursary to study, should be the same as the degree you

have applied for at University.

9) Shortlisting and Acceptance

• While it is reasonable to check if your application has been received, it is best to wait patiently

for news on the bursary.

• Applications will be shortlisted to a few candidates, and you might be invited for an interview or

an aptitude test.

• If you are successful, then conditional acceptance (based on your final marks) will be granted.

• After you've matriculated, send through a certified copy of your final grade 12 marks, to prove

that you have achieved the final results.

• You will then get a Bursary Confirmation Letter to register at their approved institution. Before

signing the bursary contract, please take time to read and understand the terms and conditions

as most of them are binding.

10) No bursary? Look at Alternative Options

• Many companies simply do not respond if you don't receive a bursary.

• If you do not get a bursary, consider applying for a NSFAS loan (explained in this brochure), or

explore the other funding options available to you. Remember that you may be able to apply for

certain bursaries once you have passed a year of university.

RE: APPLICATION FOR A BURSARY – MINING ENGINEERING

Dear Sir/Madam

I am a grade 12 learner at Kwadengeza Secondary School and would like to pursue a career in Mining Engineering. I have already applied for admission at several universities such as University of Johannesburg, Wits, Pretoria and Cape Town and am awaiting confirmation of provisional acceptance from them. I obtained the following results in the first term of matric / grade 11:

ENGLISH 67%MATHEMATICS 80%PHYSICAL SCIENCE 61%LIFE SCIENCES 65%GEOGRAPHY 63%AFRIKAANS 72%LIFE ORIENTATION 65%

The reason I have chosen to be a Mining Engineer is because I am highly numerate, curious about how things work, very analytical and critical in my approach to situations. I relate well to people and have above average communication skills. I am also creative and able to organize, as well as delegate tasks in order to achieve results through others. My election to the position of head boy in the previous academic year, as well as my results, all attest to these abilities and skills.

I am drawn to the Mining Engineering profession first, because of the enormous career opportunities South Africa has to offer, but also the contribution I believe I can make towards the betterment of myself, family, community as well as the country as a whole. I am confident that I have the potential to develop into an astute mining engineer one day.

I note that BHP Billiton is a renowned and world class mining resources company, placing it at the cutting edge of mining resources technology. I believe that I have a contribution to make towards this phenomenal success.

I shall appreciate it if you could forward me a bursary application form as soon as possible.OR (Select the appropriate type of ending for your letter)I would appreciate it if you would consider me for a bursary to study towards a career in engineering.

Yours faithfully

(Signature)Your name

Include your address (aligned to the right), and the address of the bursary scheme or trust fund (aligned to the left). Also include the date.

Use a heading to summarise the reason for your letter.

Give background information about your schooling and future studies. Use a formal tone in your letter.

Your school marks are very important to include, as they show your academic potential.

Remember to include your name and signature at the end.


Other Finance OptionsIf a bursary doesn't work out for you, what are your other options? This section explains the different

types of funding available to students.

1. ScholarshipsA scholarship refers to money that is given towards a student's tuition based on academic excellence,

and that does not need to be repaid. Scholarships are a reward for outstanding academic

achievement, and competition is tough, as only a few are offered. The sum of money that is granted

differs for each scholarship. Some scholarships provide a set amount, or pay for extras, or only for

tuition.

2. LoansA student loan refers to an amount of money that you borrow from a bank or other institution in order to

pay for your studies. The amount of the loan has to be paid back, either starting immediately, or at a

later date (for most student loans). Interest is a charged on loans, and is a percentage of the amount

you have borrowed.

The major banks in South Africa provide specially designed student loans to assist students in paying

for their studies. For full-time students, loans can be payed back once you have graduated. For part-

time students, you need to start repaying your loan immediately. For a bank loan you need a “surety”,

which is someone who can pay back the money if you are unable to once you have finished studying.

Your surety needs to be in regular employment, and have enough income to be able to pay back your

loan, should it be needed.

EduLoan also provides loans that are less restrictive about your surety than a bank, but which require

the person who applied for the loan to start paying the loan back immediately. EduLoan will only lend

you an amount of money that you can afford, and therefore they may not cover all of your study

finances.

3. NSFAS Loans/Financial AidNSFAS loans (also known as “financial aid” at many institutions) are government-funded, low interest

loans which are paid back once the student is working. NSFAS loans are only available for needy

students, whose family earns less than a certain amount. A portion of an NSFAS loan can be

converted into a bursary, which does not then need to be repaid, depending on academic progress. A

100% pass rate would result in a 40% decrease on the amount that needs to be paid back.

All NSFAS applications must be made at your institution, after you have registered and covered your

registration cost. Applications are quite complicated, and must be completed carefully, including

certified copies (you can get this done at a bank, post office or at your educational institution) of all the

necessary documents.

For students who are unable to get a bursary, taking an NSFAS loan at first, and applying for a bursary

104


after you have passed your first year at university may be a suitable option. Many companies prefer to

award bursaries at students who are performing well at university, rather than students fresh from

matric.

To find out more about NSFAS administered funds, send an SMS query to 32261, visit

www.nsfas.org.za, visit their offices, or send an email to [email protected]

4. Self-funding OptionsIf your parents or you are able to fund your studies, then this is a good route to choose. Other

alternatives include studying via distance education while working, studying part-time, working to save

before you begin your studies, or getting involved in learnerships.
