Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust Bursary

The Cyril Ramaphose Education Trust has a different approach to the management of its education programme and aims to recruit candidates that would ordinarily be overlooked by other bursary programmes,
which commonly seek out the top achievers only.

Job Title: Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust Bursary

Who is eligible to apply?

Any student from a financially needy background who can demonstrate such need.

Our goal is to provide financial assistance for those students who, without additional support would not apply to study further and/or complete their chosen qualification.

Preference will be given each year to essential and scarce skills education applicants as determined by the Department of Labour, various SETAs, and other labour and economic advisors.

Further non-negotiable criteria:

• Learners, or unemployed youth between the ages of 16 and 30 years, who want to complete a recognised undergraduate, or other qualification, through a recognised South African institution (overseas and post-graduate study is not negotiable)
• The bursary is only awarded to South African citizens with a valid South African ID number
• Bursary applicants must already have applied for study at the accredited institution and provide proof thereof, on application
• The bursary applicant is not permitted to change the area of specialisation on which basis the bursary was applied for, based on the acceptance letter from the institution
