It is usually awarded to enable a student to attend school, university, or college when they might not be able to, otherwise. Some awards are aimed at encouraging specific groups or individuals into the study.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-birdsend-par-index=\"0\"><em><strong>We can not guarantee that all information on this website is 100% correct as Bursary opportunities can get updated. We always do our best to give the most updated information, but ALWAYS check the official companies website for the latest information.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>What do Government Bursaries Cover?<\/h2>\n<p data-birdsend-par-index=\"1\">A Bursary offered by a local municipality or Province will work in the same way as other bursaries. They will over fees for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Registration<\/li>\n<li>Tuition<\/li>\n<li>Accommodation<\/li>\n<li>Living costs<\/li>\n<li>Books and other materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-birdsend-par-index=\"2\">However, you will notice that most bursaries are capped by value. This means that they will only pay a certain amount of money for your study and most likely this will not be enough to cover everything. These bursaries are a great help but you will often need to pay a bit out of your own pockets or try to get work besides your study<\/p>\n<h3>Work for the Government<\/h3>\n<p data-birdsend-par-index=\"3\">Although you don\u2019t have to pay back a bursary, the institution offering the bursary will often ask for payback in the form of service. After you finished your education you will need to pay with service for the number of years you received the bursary. Make sure to read the small letters on the bursary contract.<\/p>\n<h3>How to find local Bursary Opportunities?<\/h3>\n<p data-birdsend-par-index=\"4\">Finding bursaries offered by local municipalities and Provinces is not always straightforward. They are hard to find online and often the ones you can find online are outdated. Therefore it is always a smart thing to contact your local Municipality or Province to see if there are bursaries available.<\/p>\n<h2 data-birdsend-par-index=\"3\">City of Cape Town Bursary Progam 2022\/2023 Application Details<\/h2>\n<div id=\"section-intro\" class=\"section-pull\">\n<div class=\"ExternalClass8436FC7E8A2C452DB390C20037F2BDF7\">\n<p><b>We understand that studying can be expensive.
