Knysna Municipality Bursary 2025

Description

The Knysna Municipality is offering a bursary for the 2025 academic year, targeting students who reside within the Knysna Municipal District in the Western Cape. This bursary program seeks students pursuing studies in Engineering and Science, which are considered scarce skills areas. The financial assistance covers various educational expenses including registration fees, partial tuition, books, examination fees, and potential accommodation costs based on necessity. The awards are merit-based and take into account the financial needs of applicants, with special consideration given to those from historically disadvantaged backgrounds. To be eligible, applicants must be South African citizens living in the Greater Knysna area, have completed their Matric, and be enrolled or planning to enroll at a SAQA accredited institution for a full-time qualification in a relevant field in 2025. Interested candidates must complete the application form and submit it alongside required documentation, ensuring all paperwork is in order to avoid disqualification. Applications must be sent either by post to the Knysna Municipality or delivered in person to the Mayor’s Office. Submissions via email or fax are not permitted. The deadline for application is February 14, 2025, at noon. Candidates can expect feedback within two months after the closing date, and those who do not receive communication after this period should consider their applications unsuccessful.
