SANTS Teaching Bursary Draw

SANTS Private Higher Education Institution (Pty) Ltd, South Africa

Scholarship overview

The SANTS Teaching Bursary Draw, run by SANTS Private Higher Education Institution, awards ten prizes to student teachers: five bursaries and five tablets, with no entrant eligible to win both. Winners are chosen by random selection from the pool of applicants and students who meet the stated criteria, at SANTS's sole discretion.

The draw covers four programmes: the Higher Certificate in Early Childhood Care and Education, the Diploma in Grade R Teaching, the Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching and the Bachelor of Education in Intermediate Phase Teaching.
