About the StudyTrust

StudyTrust manages several bursaries and scholarships on behalf of trusts, foundations, and private and corporate donors. More information on the various opportunities’ selection criteria is provided on the Bursaries page. Applicants are asked to identify their first and second preferred bursary/scholarship, but all applicants will be considered for all opportunities they qualify for.

Applications for most bursary and scholarship opportunities close on 30 September. However, there are some exceptions, as indicated on the Bursaries pages.

Applicants are advised to carefully read the eligibility criteria of the various bursaries and scholarships administered by StudyTrust. It will not be possible to submit an application before all requisite information was provided, and supporting documents were uploaded.

The information provided and answers to the essay questions asked in the application form will be used to create an individual application profile to be presented to potential sponsors. Please provide accurate information and thoughtful answers to essay questions. Ensure that words are spelt correctly and names and surnames start with capitals. A bursary application is a request for an investment in your education of up to half a million rand. Potential sponsors are more likely to select someone for such an investment if they find evidence that an application was completed with care and precision.

Current Gr 12 learners who are not yet sure about their study plans are referred to the helpful resources on the web pages of Pace Career Centre. Their career questionnaire was designed to assist prospective students with the right study programme and career choice.
