If you’re a South African student looking for financial support to study at a university or TVET college, the TTI Bursary Programme is one option to consider. TTI operates as a bursary management organisation, working with private-sector funders who support students based on need and funder requirements.
What makes this bursary different is that applications are generally accepted throughout the year (rolling database), and qualifying students may be contacted when funding becomes available.
What the TTI Bursary Can Cover
Bursary coverage depends on the funder and bursary type, but full-cost bursaries may include:
- Tuition fees
- Study materials
- Accommodation
- Monthly allowance (e.g., meals/transport)
- In some cases: mentoring / student support services
Who Can Apply (General Guidance)
Because TTI manages bursaries on behalf of different funders, requirements can differ. However, applicants are typically considered based on:
- Financial need
- Academic record / latest results
- Registration/acceptance at a recognised tertiary institution
- Meeting the specific bursary criteria when a funder opens a funding cycle
Supporting Documents Needed
To be considered, you’ll usually need the following certified/clear documents:
- Certified copy of South African ID
- Proof of registration OR an acceptance letter from your institution
- Full academic record (latest available results)
- A clear head-and-shoulders photo
Tip: Incomplete applications are not considered, so upload everything the first time.
