Partially funded

Boston City Campus Bursaries

Boston City Campus (Pty) Ltd, South Africa

Scholarship overview

Boston City Campus, a private higher education provider, offers a range of bursaries to new (not yet registered) students and to registered students who need help with fees to start, continue or complete a Boston qualification. A bursary application does not guarantee funding, and all applications are decided by Boston's Bursary Committee.

The bursaries form part of Boston's Corporate Social Investment programme, which the college says totals in the millions of rands a year. Funding goes not only to individuals but to schools and community organisations, and Boston has partnered with organisations including Afrika Tikkun (Johannesburg and Mfuleni), Arena Academy, Aspire Youth (Western Cape), the Bakone Sports Tournament, the Caster Semenya Foundation, Eris Property Group, Good Governance Africa, The President's Award, SAFI, the Slim Foundation and the Youth Community Action Programme.

Applications are made in person at the Support Centre of the specific campus where the applicant wants to study, not through a central online form, and the Committee does not give applicants reasons for its decisions.

Award Information

  • New (not yet registered) students, or registered students who need help paying their fees.
  • Applicants must be at least 17 years old.
  • Applicants under 18 need their application endorsed in writing by a parent or legal guardian, and written consent to register.
  • Only one bursary may be used per semester, or at the same time as another.
  • A bursary cannot be applied to fees already owed.
  • Excludes external examination fees, accommodation, transport and stationery.

  • If the qualification costs less than the bursary, the difference is not paid out or credited toward other modules or qualifications.

  • The Bursary Committee meets to finalise results after each closing date.
  1. Go to the Boston City Campus Support Centre of the campus where you want to study.
  2. Ask the Support Centre whether it accepts online applications or only hard-copy submissions; there is no standard application form.
  3. Submit a strong, well-worded letter of motivation, a copy of your ID (it does not need to be certified) and your latest school or tertiary results.
  4. Follow up with the Support Centre on the date it gives you to find out the outcome; checking the result is the applicant's own responsibility.
