Sage invites disadvantaged youth and youth living with disabilities to apply for an external bursary for the 2023 academic year.
The Sage External Bursary aims to provide disadvantaged youth and youth living with disabilities with financial support to further their studies through registered public universities.
The bursary fund will cover both the historical tertiary debt and current fees for students who are already registered at a public university. Not only will the bursary cover the tuition, but the accommodation (residence or private), stationery, and books as well.
