Abagold Development Trust invites students to apply for Bursary Programme  2025 academic year.

Bursary Application Closing Date: 30 September 2024

Bursaries will be awarded to students residing in Hermanus, in the Western Cape, for studies within ANY field, at tertiary level. The trust will award partial funding to students funded by NSFAS, who need extra funding.

The bursary will provide partial funding for an additional living expenses stipend that is not covered by the NSFAS stipend.

To keep receiving the bursary each year, students are required to maintain an above-mentioned average. Should a student fall below this standard for two consecutive semesters, the Trustees reserve the right to discontinue the funding after taking necessary corrective actions.

Selection will be based on 2 main factors: academic record and financial need.

Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and the administrator of the trust will consider any additional factors before making recommendations to the Board.
