If you don’t have the financial means, then you will need to consider a bursary or another form of funding. We have collected a number of options to help you fund your postgraduate studies. 

If you have a solid academic history that you have maintained throughout over the duration of your studies, you may qualify to apply for a postgraduate bursary. 

Bursaries often cover a variety of additional costs involved in studying such as textbooks, laptops, the living cost for meals and accommodation.

If you are a South African student in search of bursaries, then you are in the right place as we’ve compiled some of the ongoing postgraduate bursaries for you.
