Are you a South African student who is looking to pursue a degree or postgraduate studies in education? Look no further than the Funza Lushaka Bursary Scheme! The scholarship is designed to help cover most of the essential expenses for recipients, including tuition fees, accommodation (including meals), books and learning materials, teaching practice, and even a small allowance for monthly living expenses.

Several scholarships are available for both undergraduate and postgraduate students who are South African nationals. The Funza Lushaka Bursary does not fund extended programs, and allocation of the bursary to Higher Education Institution employees, their spouses, and their dependents/children is not permissible.

Applicants must meet certain criteria to be eligible for the Funza Lushaka Bursary Scheme. Applicants should be 30 or younger, exhibit good academic ability, and demonstrate commitment to a teaching career. This includes an interest in working with young people, enthusiasm for a professional career in teaching, readiness to face and surmount difficult challenges with integrity, and a commitment to teaching in any school to which a student may be placed by a Provincial Education Department (PED). Students must meet the minimum academic criteria for the award of the bursary.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for the Funza Lushaka Bursary Scheme by registering on the application portal and following the outlined steps. Once you have completed the required fields with your information, confirm the information captured by accepting the declaration.
