StudyTrust Bursaries Has Opened

StudyTrust joins forces with young people who have the talent and determination to empower themselves through education and training in the struggle for a better future.

StudyTrust awards sponsored bursaries based on academic merit, financial need and according to the sponsor’s requirements.

Each application will automatically be considered for all the bursaries for which a particular applicant qualifies.

That means that an application for e.g. an FNB Fund bursary will also be considered for a StudyTrust access bursary and vice versa.

You will, however, be required to indicate which is your first choice, e.g. “Investec”.
