SANRAL Bursary 2027/2028 Guide: Eligibility, Fields and Document Checklist
I used to confuse SANRAL Scholarship with SANRAL Bursary. The scholarship is for Grade 8 to 12 learners, while the bursary supports full-time undergraduates at recognized public universities in South Africa. The bursary focuses on fields linked to SANRAL’s work—Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Public Procurement, Supply Chain Management and related areas. Before you apply, confirm your course and institution meet the eligibility criteria, as private, part-time or distance students are not covered. You’ll need strong academics (around 70% for matric applicants and 60% for current students) and a full set of recent certified documents. Typical requirements include ID copies, academic records, proof of registration, residence, household income and affidavits where necessary. Support ranges from full to partial bursaries based on a means test. It can cover tuition, registration, accommodation, study materials, meals, a living allowance and access to SANRAL’s wellness programme. You must not hold another active bursary. Apply early through the official SANRAL bursary portal and prepare your documents before the deadline.
