CTCA Grade 12 Performance Bursary

Cape Town Creative Academy, South Africa

Scholarship overview

The CTCA Grade 12 Performance Bursary is awarded by the Cape Town Creative Academy (CTCA), an accredited creative university, to newly enrolled first-year students based on their results in the final Grade 12 examinations. It is a first-year-only award, credited directly against the student's tuition account rather than paid out as cash.

It sits alongside CTCA's wider fee structure, which also includes early-registration and early-settlement discounts and, for international students outside the SADC region, an added international levy.

Award Information

  • Newly enrolled first-year student at CTCA (the bursary is for first year only).
  • Distinctions obtained in the final Grade 12 examinations, excluding Life Orientation.
  • Not a recipient of any other CTCA scholarship or bursary.
  • Final Grade 12 certificate submitted to CTCA Administration before the end of January.
  • R5,000 per Grade 12 distinction (Life Orientation excluded).
  • The allocated amount is deducted from the student's tuition fee account in October; accounts already settled by then are credited for the following academic year.

Final Grade 12 certificates must reach CTCA Administration before the end of January of the first year of study to qualify for the bursary.

  1. Apply for and secure admission to a CTCA degree programme (minimum National Senior Certificate with an APS of at least 22, Matriculation exemption, and English proficiency), via the CTCA application process: pay the R1,000 non-refundable application fee, submit a portfolio of five art or design projects and a short motivation, and provide a certified ID copy and latest Grade 11/12 marks.
  2. Register as a first-year student at CTCA.
  3. Submit your final Grade 12 certificate to CTCA Administration before the end of January.
  4. The bursary is then credited automatically against your tuition account for each distinction.

How selection works

  • The number of distinctions in the final Grade 12 examinations (excluding Life Orientation) determines the bursary amount; no separate application or selection panel is used for the bursary itself.
