Example
I am a Grade 12 learner at Rustenburg High School with an aggregate of 78%. I have been accepted at the University of Pretoria for a BSc in Actuarial Science in 2026. My parents are both self-employed and cannot cover the full cost of my studies. This bursary would allow me to focus on my degree without financial stress and, in return, I commit to maintaining a minimum 65% average and completing the degree in minimum time.
