Overview/Details

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) External Bursary Scheme provides bursaries and scholarships to financially disadvantaged undergraduate students pursuing studies relevant to central banking, economics, finance, and related fields.

The SARB is responsible for maintaining price and financial stability in South Africa, regulating the financial sector, managing interest rates, and overseeing the stability of the banking system. Funded fields of study should bear on, but are not limited to, these functions and activities.

A number of external bursaries are made available annually to qualifying prospective undergraduates as part of the SARB’s commitment to addressing the shortage of critical skills in South Africa.

Requirements

  • Have provisional acceptance into an undergraduate degree at a South African university.
  • Have achieved an average pass mark of 70% or above in the June Grade 12/Matric examinations (final bursary award is subject to final results).
  • Be younger than 30 years of age.
  • Demonstrate financial need: unable to afford university without a bursary.
