Step-by-Step: How to apply for Bursaries

Step 1: Find a Bursary That Matches Your Needs

Begin by researching bursaries that align with your field of study (such as engineering, medicine, education, IT, business, etc.) and your personal circumstances. Carefully review the eligibility criteria, including academic requirements, financial need, citizenship, and year of study.

Step 2: Visit the Official Application Page

Once you’ve identified a suitable bursary, go directly to the official website of the bursary provider or a trusted application portal. Avoid third-party sites that request payment or personal information without verification.

Look for links such as:

"Apply Now"
"Bursary Application Form 2026"
"Online Bursary Application"

Always confirm application deadlines and submission methods.

Step 3: Fill Out the Online Form

Fill out the online form carefully and thoroughly. Provide accurate and truthful information, as bursary providers often verify details. Take your time—rushing may lead to errors that could disqualify your application.

Helpful Tips

Use correct spelling and grammar
Ensure your contact details are up to date
Save progress if the platform allows

Step 4: Upload Your Documents

Attach all required supporting documents. Scan them clearly and label them appropriately (e.g., ID.pdf, AcademicResults.pdf).

Step 5: Submit & Confirm

Double-check everything before submitting. Once done, you should receive a confirmation email or reference number.

Furthermore, kindly ensure you are aware of the closing date for each bursary
