Bursary Programme

About

Description

The available funding opportunities demonstrate a commitment to skills development, meaningful socio-economic transformation, and the country’s broader development agenda. In most cases, the sponsorship includes full-fee funding, which covers registration or tuition, accommodation, meals, books, and stationery or necessities as approved by the sponsor. A laptop will be provided for study purposes, along with ongoing psycho-social support through Excel@Uni. Additionally, light-touch mentorship will be offered to help develop essential skills necessary for both personal and professional growth. The final details of what the bursary will cover will only be confirmed when successful applicants receive their official bursary award or pledge letter signed by the sponsor.
