Partially funded

TUT Bursary and Scholarship Fund

Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa

Scholarship overview

The TUT Bursary and Scholarship Fund was set up in 2014 to give academically deserving Tshwane University of Technology students sustainable financial support when they face financial exclusion, in particular the 'missing middle': students who do not qualify for NSFAS but cannot afford tuition, accommodation or basic living costs.

Contributions to the Fund are invested so it can keep growing; most of the money goes directly to supporting students each year, while a portion is reinvested for long-term impact. Money comes from TUT staff, alumni, corporate partners and other donors, who can choose to fund faculty-specific or equity-focused bursaries, and donations qualify for a SARS Section 18A tax benefit.

Award Information

  • Academically deserving undergraduate and postgraduate TUT students facing financial exclusion.
  • Students needing help with tuition, accommodation, meals or transport.
  • Beneficiaries include the missing middle, women, rural students, students with disabilities, and students in advanced diplomas and postgraduate studies.
  • Support can go towards tuition, accommodation, meals and transport, depending on how a particular donor's contribution is directed.

This page addresses the Fund mainly from the donor and impact side rather than setting out a direct student application form.
