are international students allowed to apply for south african bursaries?

The rules of the South African institution that offers the bursary will determine if international sudents can or cannot apply. DUT financial aid (bursaries/loans) is not available for international undergraduate students. However, a graduate student registered for full-time study may be eligible for a postgraduate merit award (which is given on the basis of academic excellence). Students who qualify are expected to complete six hours departmental duties.
