Partially funded

CTBS Student Bursaries

Cape Town Baptist Seminary NPC, South Africa

Scholarship overview

Cape Town Baptist Seminary (CTBS), a Baptist theological training institution in Bridgetown, Cape Town running since 1974, raises bursaries from donors to help students who cannot otherwise meet their tuition obligations. As a private higher education institution, CTBS does not receive a government subsidy and its students cannot access state funding schemes such as NSFAS, so student fees cover only part of its running costs and bursaries depend on what donors give.

Bursaries reduce, rather than remove, the cost of study: they are a partial contribution against tuition, typically leaving a balance the student must still cover.

Awards are considered for existing CTBS students under the Seminary's own financial assistance criteria, administered by the Registrar, Ms Colleen Nourse.

Award Information

  • Typically awarded to existing CTBS students rather than new applicants.
  • Awarded according to the Seminary's student financial assistance criteria and its terms and conditions for bursaries, obtained from the Registrar.
  • Subject to the availability of donor funds.
  • Partial tuition support; the amount depends on the funds available at the time.
  • For reference, 2025 fees are R400 per application, a minimum registration payment of R7,000 for a Bachelor's degree, and R4,620 per module for the Bachelor of Theology or Bachelor of Ministry (maximum five modules per semester).
  1. Contact the Registrar, Ms Colleen Nourse, on [email protected] or +27 21 637 9020 to request the student financial assistance criteria and terms and conditions.
  2. Submit the bursary application as directed by the Registrar.
