Education African Scholarships International in the area of National Priority for graduate and undergraduate studies
Scholarships Job Description: The Funza Lushaka Bursary Programme is a multi-year programme that promotes teaching in public schools. Full-cost bursaries are available to enable eligible students to complete a full teaching qualification in an area of national priority. Recipients of these bursaries will be required to teach at a public school for the same number of years that they receive the bursary.
Qualified recipients of the bursary must request placement in a province of their choice. The provincial education department (PED) concerned will determine whether there is suitable post available. If there is not, the applicant may be placed in a PED that does have suitable vacancies. Please note that bursars cannot choose the school in which they would like to be placed.
This is a national programme that is run locally at every higher education institution (HEI) that offers teacher education programmes. It is funded by the National Treasury and executed by the Department of Education (DoE). The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) administers the programme on behalf of the DoE via the Student Financial Aid Office at each HEI.
Eligible students must meet the admission criteria of the academic programme at the HEI to which they apply, and must meet the national selection criteria for a Funza Lushaka bursary. Provincial selection committees are constituted to guide the selection. (See paragraphs 13 to 16 on selection matters.) Once qualified, bursary recipients are employed by a PED.
