A BSc Extended Programme is a version of a Bachelor of Science degree designed for students who need extra support or more time to complete their studies. It's usually longer than the standard BSc, often by an additional year, and includes extra help like foundational courses or additional tutoring to ensure students can successfully complete their degree.

Pursuing a BSc Extended Programme can be a significant financial commitment, but various bursaries are available to help ease the burden.

Here are the various bursaries available to help cover these expenses: 

Government Bursaries

Many governments offer bursaries for students in extended programs. These bursaries are often aimed at helping students who need additional support.

You should check with your local education department or government website to see what options are available. Look for bursaries that are specifically designated for extended programs or for students who are struggling financially.

One great government bursary is the NSFAS Bursary.

University-Specific Bursaries

Your university might offer bursaries tailored to students in extended programs. These can come from the university itself or from alumni and other supporters.

Visit your university’s financial aid office or website to find out about these opportunities. They can provide information on the application process and any requirements you need to meet.

Private and Corporate Bursaries

Several private organizations and companies offer bursaries for students in extended programs. These bursaries are often awarded based on academic performance, financial need, or specific fields of study.

Look for scholarships from businesses or foundations that support education. Many companies have their own bursary programs, so researching and applying for these can also be beneficial.

Non-Profit Organizations

Non-profit organizations often provide bursaries for students in various fields of study, including extended programs. These organizations aim to support education and can be a great resource.

Search for non-profits that focus on education or your specific field of study. They may offer financial assistance to help cover the costs of your extended program.

How to Apply

Applying for bursaries typically involves filling out an application form, providing proof of your financial situation, and sometimes writing a personal statement.

Be sure to gather all necessary documents and follow the application instructions carefully. Pay attention to deadlines and make sure to apply for as many bursaries as you can to increase your chances of receiving support.

All in all, by exploring these opportunities and applying for the relevant bursaries, you can find the financial assistance you need to succeed in your extended program.
