MORE ABOUT SPEBS
SPEBS is a bursary scheme administered by the South African Institution of Civil
Engineering (SAICE) to assist financially needy and academically deserving students
who study towards the National Diploma or the Degree in Civil Engineering at a
South African tertiary institution.
National Diploma students:
Only candidates who have already passed
their first level (S1) National Diploma examination are considered. SPEBS
bursaries are therefore intended for S2, S3 and S4 civil engineering students
only.
Degree students:
Only candidates who have already passed their first
semester examinations are considered. SPEBS bursaries are therefore
intended for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year civil engineering students only.
Bursaries are granted per semester. As SPEBS funds are limited, bursaries
are awarded on merit – thus, excellent marks improve a student’s chances
of being awarded a SPEBS bursary.
To be considered for a bursary, an applicant must have completed all
the subjects from previous study levels. Depending on the student’s
academic performance, and the availability of funds at the time,
an allocated bursary could be extended to assist the student until
completion of his/her course.
SPEBS funds are intended to partially cover registration, tuition and
books. Currently we award bursaries to a maximum of R7 000 per
student per semester but, depending on the conditions set by the
patron donating the money, this amount could be more or less
than R7 000.
Successful candidates are notified accordingly during March
or September, they have to provide us with certified proof of
registration, which clearly states subjects registered for, before
funds are released. Bursaries are made payable to the tertiary
institution concerned to be credited to the bursar’s account.
Closing dates for applications:
For fi rst semester: 31 January
For second semester: 31 July
