Investec High School Bursary
Provided by:Investec
Description
The Investec High School Bursary Programme for the academic year 2026 invites applications from South African students entering Grades 10, 11, and 12. Targeting talented youth from township and rural schools, the bursary is designed for those showing promising academic potential, particularly in Math and Physical Science. Selection is based on both financial need and academic performance, with funding extending for the remainder of the recipients' high school studies. The application process is competitive; thus, meeting all entry criteria does not guarantee a bursary award. Interested candidates must demonstrate a strong academic record, have been enrolled in their current school for at least a year, and their school must meet specific performance standards, including a minimum 90% pass rate for Matric students. Applicants are required to submit essential documentation, including proof of income for their guardians and academic results, by the deadline of September 30, 2025. For further inquiries, contact Investec directly via the provided email.
