Bursaries and scholarships
Bursaries and scholarships are financial awards that help students pay for their education. Scholarships are typically merit-based, awarded for academic achievement, talents, or other accomplishments. Bursaries are usually need-based, given to students who demonstrate financial hardship. Both do not require repayment. These awards can cover tuition, books, or living expenses, easing the financial burden and enabling students to focus on their studies. They are valuable resources for making education more accessible and affordable, encouraging talent and supporting students' academic pursuits regardless of their economic background.
