What a bursary actually is
A bursary is funding for study, not employment. It typically covers tuition and may extend to accommodation, books and a living allowance. Many bursaries carry a work-back obligation — a commitment to work for the funder for a period matching the years funded — and most require you to maintain a minimum pass rate to keep it.
How bursaries work: the week, the qualification and where it leads →Watch out for this
Read the work-back and repayment terms before accepting. Failing a year or leaving early can convert a bursary into a debt, and the conditions differ sharply between funders.
