Gama Attorneys Inc. was a Black-owned corporate and commercial law firm with offices in Midrand and Sandton, specialising in banking and finance, competition, labour and employment law and litigation. For a few years the firm ran a small bursary for first-year LLB students.

We keep this page live because the bursary may return under the new name. The details below are from the last advertised cycle, so treat them as a guide to what the firm looked for rather than as current terms.

Gama Attorneys Bursary eligibility requirements

In the last cycle, applicants had to:

1. Be a South African citizen.
2. Have completed Matric recently and been accepted to study towards an LLB at a recognised South African university.
3. Come from a previously disadvantaged background or be able to show financial need.
4. Provide a letter of acceptance or provisional acceptance from the university.

What the bursary covered

Past listings described the award as covering full tuition fees and prescribed study materials for the LLB degree, renewable each year subject to satisfactory academic results.

Gama Attorneys Bursary application process

There was no online portal or downloadable form. Applications were sent by email with the following attachments:

• Certified copy of your South African ID.
• Certified copy of your Matric certificate or final results.
• Proof of acceptance or provisional acceptance to study an LLB at a South African university.
• A full CV.
• Proof of household income for your parents or guardians.

If the bursary reopens for 2027, expect a similar email-based process. Confirm the correct address with the firm first, because the previous address (info@gamaattorneys.com) belongs to a domain that is no longer in active use.

Gama Attorneys Bursary closing date

The last confirmed closing date was 8 March 2021. No closing date has been published for 2027. If a new cycle is announced we will update this page.
