What the FEDHASA Cape Bursary Covers

The bursary offers to cover students’ tuition fees for the final year of study. In earlier years, values like up to R70 000 or R100 000 have been cited.

It may include mentorship or industry-link support (though details vary).

The funding is dependent on the bursary fund raised by FEDHASA Cape (for example, from an annual golf day) and therefore is limited.
