About Sanral Bursary
The SANRAL Bursary, run by SANRAL, funds first-year undergraduate students in Civil Engineering, Computer Science or Information Systems, Human Resources Management, or Public Procurement/Supply Chain Management - a distinct programme from the SANRAL High School Scholarship also listed on this site.
Both full and partial awards are available, and the specific package you're offered depends on your combination of academic performance and financial need - a strong applicant with lower financial need may still be offered a partial award rather than full funding, so don't assume acceptance automatically means full cost coverage.
Funding Details
Full awards cover fees, accommodation, meals, and a living allowance; partial awards cover a portion of these costs, depending on your academic performance and financial need.
Where You Can Study
Any recognised and accredited public South African tertiary institution qualifies, provided your qualification is in one of SANRAL's four supported fields.
