Application Form for the Aon Bursary
Applying for the Aon Bursary is a simple process, but I’ll still advise that you do it thoroughly.
All you need to do is visit the Aon South Africa website and create an account to access the online application form.
Remember that the applications are only accepted electronically, so prepare scanned copies of the following documents:
- Certified academic transcripts: Showcase your academic prowess with official proof of your results.
- Proof of South African citizenship: A certified copy of your ID document or birth certificate will suffice.
- Motivation letter: Articulate your passion for Risk and Insurance, outlining your career aspirations and how the Aon Bursary will equip you to achieve them.
- Curriculum Vitae (CV): Highlight your academic achievements, relevant skills, and any extracurricular activities that prove your leadership potential and well-roundedness.
- Certified proof of financial need: This could be a recent payslip from your parent(s)/guardian(s) or an affidavit confirming your financial troubles.
Once you’ve gathered your documents, complete the online application form carefully, ensuring all information is accurate and complete.
Attach the scanned copies of your supporting documents and submit your application before the closing date.
Incomplete applications or those submitted after the deadline will not be considered so please take note.
