The Department of Education in the Western Cape has announced an exciting opportunity for young South African students. The department is now offering bursaries for select courses of study in the province.
The main purpose of these bursaries is to provide financial assistance to students from less fortunate backgrounds, so that they can obtain the necessary qualifications to pursue rewarding careers in their chosen fields.
The bursaries are available for full-time, part-time and distance learning study. Courses of study include undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, diplomas and certificates in both the sciences and engineering, as well as management and other business-related fields. The bursary covers tuition and registration fees, books and study materials, computer hardware and software and other related costs.
Applicants must be South African citizens and must show proof of financial need. Also, they must be registered and accepted as a student at an accredited educational institution within the Western Cape.
Applications can be made by completing and submitting the appropriate paperwork, which can be obtained from any local department of education. Applications must be submitted by a certain deadline, and applicants will be required to provide all of the necessary documents, such as personal statement, qualifications and references.
The Department of Education in the Western Cape is offering these bursaries in an effort to help South African young people realize their goals of higher education and to ultimately create a better future for themselves and their families. For those who qualify, these bursaries can be a great opportunity to help make higher education possible.
