WHAT ARE THE AFRISAM BURSARY REQUIREMENTS?

  • Applicants must be matriculants intending to pursue one of the engineering qualifications covered by the programme.
  • Applicants must intend to study an approved engineering qualification at a recognised and accredited university in South Africa.
  • Applicants must have a strong academic record.
  • A minimum academic average of 60% is required.
  • Applicants must demonstrate good behavioural standards.

AfriSam gives preference to Historically Disadvantaged South Africans (HDSA) and female applicants. Preference does not guarantee selection, as the advertised intake had only two bursary opportunities.

HOW TO APPLY FOR THE AFRISAM BURSARY?

Applications are submitted by email.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR THE AFRISAM BURSARY?

  • A certified copy of your South African ID document.
  • Your Matric certificate or Grade 12 results.
  • An updated CV.

WHAT IS THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE AFRISAM BURSARY?

AfriSam indicated that only shortlisted applicants would be contacted during the selection process.

Since the 2027 intake advertised only two bursary opportunities, meeting the minimum eligibility requirements did not guarantee that an applicant would receive funding.

Applicants who did not receive feedback within approximately two weeks should consider their applications unsuccessful.

WHEN IS THE CLOSING DATE FOR THE AFRISAM BURSARY?
