Overview/Details

The Capitec Bursary supports South African students pursuing full-time NQF-7 or higher qualifications in banking, financial services, and technology-related fields for the 2027 academic year.

Successful recipients receive comprehensive financial support covering tuition and registration fees, accommodation, textbooks, and a meal allowance, alongside work readiness and personal development opportunities designed to ease the transition from campus to career.

The bursary is renewable annually based on academic performance, student engagement, and sponsor budgets. A work-back obligation applies: recipients must work for Capitec for every year of funding received, or repay the full value of benefits received plus interest at the prime rate.

Bursaries are awarded in line with Capitec’s Employment Equity plan. Candidates who do not hear back within three months of the closing date should consider their application unsuccessful.
