What is the difference between a Bursary and a Scholarship?

1. What is the difference between a Bursary and a Scholarship?

  • A scholarship is a financial award granted to a student on the basis of the student’s academic or sporting excellence.
  • A Bursary is a financial award granted to a student on the basis of the student’s financial neediness.
  • For the Solomon Mahlangu Scholarship Fund, the student has to produce proof that his/ her parent(s) or guardian(s) are not in a position to afford paying for tertiary education (earn under R15 000 household income per month).

 2. How many people will benefit from the scholarship?

  • A total of about 150 students will benefit from the scholarship starting in 2018. About 300 students from previous intakes are still on the scholarship.

 3. How do I submit my application?

  • You can submit your application online via the NYDA website or send a printed completed form to the address given in 'applications'. NO faxing or direct submissions to universities or NYDA offices.
