About Kwadukuza Municipality Bursary
The KwaDukuza Municipality Bursary is a local government funding programme run by KwaDukuza Local Municipality, part of the iLembe District in KwaZulu-Natal, covering the towns of KwaDukuza (Stanger) and Ballito. The programme assists academically deserving students from the municipal area who need financial support to complete tertiary studies, with a stated funding split of at least 60% of the available budget going to non-scarce-skills studies and the remainder to designated scarce-skills fields.
Funding Details
Based on publicly available municipal bursary policy documents, the programme contributes toward tuition and related study costs for successful applicants. Exact per-student amounts are set annually by the municipal council and were not published in a form that could be independently verified at the time of writing, so no specific rand value is quoted here.
Where You Can Study
Open to students accepted at any accredited South African public university, university of technology, or TVET college. No single field of study is prescribed, though the municipality allocates a portion of its budget toward government-defined scarce-skills fields.
