The Bursary Booklets and docuemtns (downloadable on this page) have been compiled by the Financial Aid office to assist prospective and current students with information on available sources of funding for their studies. We know that university study can be expensive, and at Nelson Mandela University, we strive to assist as many students as possible with accessing financial assistance to ease the burden on students and their families.
The documents contain information on funding available from Nelson Mandela University, NSFAS, as well as a wide range of companies, foundations and other organisations. Some awards are made to specific categories of people, or to students studying in particular fields only, while others are more widely applicable.
We advise students to study these documents carefully and to apply for as many possible sources of funding for which they qualify, to give them the best chance of receiving financial assistance.
