Bursaries and Scholarships

Expanding access for success is key to transforming the University, breaking the cycle of poverty, and promoting social justice. However, many students remain unfunded, especially postgraduates and missing middle students, who fall outside government aid schemes.

Postgraduates, vital to research and innovation, receive no NSFAS support, while missing middle students earn too much for aid but too little to afford university. Your donation to Nelson Mandela University’s bursary and scholarship programme helps bridge this gap, ensuring deserving students can complete their studies and build a stronger South Africa.
