Career Wise has a variety of tertiary funding programmes (i.e., bursaries and scholarships) covering a number of disciplines. We have our own easy-to-follow online application process but some of our bursary schemes require a specific application form. Visit the applications page of our website to see which schemes require a separate application form. If you would like to apply for one of those programmes, click on the link and complete the application form as per the instructions. You may have your heart set on one of those schemes, but we suggest also completing the Career Wise online application form on the applications page. That way we can match you to other schemes in case you are not successful with your first choice. Follow the ‘Career Wise Online Application’ link and register to get started with your application profile.
Requirements for High school students
In order to apply for a Career Wise bursary, you will need to have applied to university. You will also need your Grade 11 results, as well as any Grade 12 progress reports you have. Include as much academic and extracurricular information as you can so we know what kind of student you are. It’s also important to include honest information about your family situation. And, just like the university application, you will also need reliable contact details so we can stay in touch with you. Most importantly, don’t wait to apply! Our online application process allows you to start your application as soon as you have applied to the universities of your choice and then update it with relevant information on an ongoing basis. If you need some help before or during this process, visit our Frequently Asked Question’s page
Requirements for University students
You must submit your matric certificate, identity document, full academic record from your institution, proof of registration for your current academic year and full fee account i.e., financial statement of account with university. Passing your all your courses for each semester is the very first level of screening. Producing an overall average above 65% shows you are a strong candidate. Being able to demonstrate some level of leadership or participation in something beyond your studies will also go a long way. Communicating your level of your aspiration/ambition for your career can be done by showing how your studies link to the job after you have graduated. If you have done any relevant work experience you should also make a note of it on your application.
