StudyTrust BURSARIES ARE OPEN FOR 2022

By Admin

StudyTrust is an educational trust and public benefit organisation established in 1974, that connects learners with potential and determination to bursaries and scholarship opportunities. We administer bursaries and provide mentoring and support to help students thrive academically and personally. Our programmes complement students’ technical and academic skills, preparing them for  meaningful employment and to become active contributors to the economy. We help young people to access tertiary education, acquire professional skills and gain employment.

Bursaries and Scholarships Administered
StudyTrust manages several bursary and scholarship programmes for South African and international companies, foundations, trusts and private donors.

Applications for these bursaries and scholarships will be considered for all opportunities for which applicants qualify. Some bursaries are recruitment bursaries that entail a work-back obligation.

The selection criteria and conditions of the various programmes managed by StudyTrust are described on the pages of these bursaries. Click on the bursary opportunity below for the relevant information.
