Approximately 1500 entries have been compiled, mainly from the latest available bursary brochures of all the universities and technikons in the RSA and TBVC countries.This report is a useful aid for vocational guidance officers and a reference work for prospective students seeking financial assistance for further study. The guide will be revised every two years. 7 -iv- HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE The aim of this book is to provide a summary of financial assistance available for obtaining a certificate, diploma or degree after Standard 10 at a university, college or technikon. The bursaries, loans and other forms of financial aid appear under the heading 'Awards' and are arranged in alphabetical order and then numbered. The following suggestions will help you find information on the awards: Awards are usually offered for a specific field of study and the index of fields of study is a useful aid for tracing the awards. Look for the field of study in which you are interested and consult the numbers thereunder in order to locate the awards. Also look under related fields of study.For example: for awards under 'Chemistry', one can also look under 'Natural Sciences' and for 'Civil Engineering' under 'Engineering'. A large number of awards are not connected to a specific field of study. These awards are listed under the title 'Any field of study'.Also look under this heading for awards in which you are interested. Use the index of istitutions where awards are tenable in the same way as the index of fields of study. Apply for bursaries and loans in good time. The application form has to be obtained, completed and submitted before the closing date indicated under the award. Do not apply for bursaries and loans for which you are not eligible as bursary donors usually adhere strictly to the conditions of the award. Some organisations prefer not to make their bursaries widely known. This book istherefore not a complete account of allavailable financial assistance, but it does contain nearly all the awards available.If you do not find an applicable bursary/loan in it your chances of finding such a bursary/loan in another source are poor. -v- Bursaries which are only available for study overseas are not included in this book. Such information may be found in The Grants Register (Editors: C.A. Lerner and R. Turner, St. Martin's Press Inc., 175 Fifth Avenue, New York.) In this guide matriculant, means a person who intends to study at a university, technikon or college; student, means a person who is already studying at a university, technikon or college; matriculation examination, means the Matriculation Certificate examination or the Senior Certificate examination (matriculation exemption) equivalent examination; any tertiary institution, means any university, technikon or college which offers the course concerned and for which a Senior Certificate or equivalent is required; any university or any university in the RSA, means that some of these awards are also tenable for study abroad; bursary, means that the award is made on the basis of academic achievement, financial need and other conditions; scholarship or merit award, means that a person should have excelled academically to be eligible for this award; bursary loan, means that the award usually includes a service contract which on breach of contract becomes a loan, and prize, means that the prize money should be used for further study. Although the information in this publication has been compiled carefully, some of the bursaries and loans may not be valid. Applicants should thus ascertain when applying whether the award is still available. There may also be new awards which the HSRC is processing, details of which do not appear in this
