Matrics urged to apply for bursaries - Newsroom - 15-09-2013 Mbombela - Grade 12 learners in Mpumalanga have until September 30 to apply for bursaries to further their education. “The department calls on all Grade 12 learners, who need financial assistance to further their studies in different universities within our country, to apply for the Mpumalanga Provincial Government Bursary Scheme for the 2014 academic year before the set closing date," said provincial Education Department spokesperson Jasper Zwane. To qualify for the bursary, learners have to complete a bursary application form that is accessible at the provincial government complex in Riverside Mall in Mbombela or any regional Education Department offices. Applications can also be made online on the department's website: mpumalanga.gov.za/education Zwane said his department is the custodian of all bursaries offered by the provincial government. “Learners need to be aware that all bursaries offered by the provincial government are centralised [in] the Department of Education, which means that we, as the Education Department, administer all the bursaries of the departments.” Bursary applicants must provide certified copies of their Grade 12 mid-year results if currently in Grade 12 or their final Grade 12 certificate, as well as proof of residence in Mpumalanga, an acceptance/provisional acceptance letter or proof of registration from a higher education institution. They must also provide a certified copy of their South African identity document, proof of income of their parent(s) or guardian(s), proof of disability from a registered medical doctor or clinic/hospital (if applicable) and/or proof of indigent status. “Learners are also encouraged to take advantage of other opportunities provided by government to assist them to obtain a university qualification such as the Fundza Lushaka Bursary Fund and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme,” said Zwane. – SAnews.gov.za
