Studietrust Bursary Organisation - Today For Tomorrow! - Today for Tomorrow

Application procedure

Application forms available from 1 April to 31 August every year.

Closing dates:
·         The closing date for requesting an application form is 31 August. 
·         The closing date for submitting your completed application form with all supporting documents is 30 September. This deadline applies to all modes of application.

Instructions for submission of application forms
Applications will only be considered if completed in full and if all the supporting documents have been included and signed by the applicant. Documents that accompany the application form must be certified:
1.    A copy of your mid-year/June examination results.  If you are not studying this year, send a copy of your latest exam results, together with an explanation of what you are doing this year. This is essential as the exam results play an important role in the selection process.
2.    Matric/NSC results: If you have already completed matric/NSC, include your results, together with your latest tertiary (June) results. This is compulsory for all tertiary students.
3.    Two testimonials: One testimonial from a responsible educational official, e. g. your principal or lecturer and the other by a community, political or spiritual leader. Use the testimonial forms in the application form or attach suitable testimonials.
4.    Write an essay on your life on the page included. Use additional pages if necessary. This must be written by you. Your parent, guardian or friend may write a letter of recommendation.
5.    Proof of salaries* of parent(s), guardian or spouse (*e.g. payslip, letter from employer, sworn statement or tax return statement).
6.    A copy of your South African ID.

NB: Please apply timeously for admission to the university of your choice. Consult the websites of the universities for their application deadlines or call our Career Information Helpline for the relevant information: 0800-21-26-41 (toll-free from landlines).
The Career Information Helpline is a partnership project of Studietrust and Investec Bank.
When completing the application form, please clearly specify the exact degree programme for which you need a bursary, the name of the educational institution where you plan to study and the year of study.
Changing your degree programme after submitting your application form may lead to a cancellation of the bursary, if granted.
No bursaries are available for private tertiary institutions.

Studietrust receives thousands of application forms each year and it is therefore not possible for us to acknowledge receipt of all completed forms. All applications will be considered and selection will take place from September to December. All applicants will be notified of the outcome not later than 31 December.
