SARF Bursary Programme 2026
The SARF Bursary Programme is a strategic funding opportunity aimed at developing skills in South Africa’s road transport and infrastructure sector. This bursary supports students pursuing careers in road engineering, transport management, transport economics, and road safety. It encourages postgraduate studies, making it ideal for those aiming to specialize in infrastructure and transport systems.
Eligibility
Applicants must be studying at a recognized South African institution and should be endorsed by their academic institution. Preference is given to South African residents, but SADC applicants may also apply. Minimum requirements include passing specific semesters based on the level of study (Diploma, Degree, or Postgraduate).
Benefits
The SARF bursary is a supplementary bursary, meaning the amount varies per student and is determined by the SARF Council. It covers part of study costs and is paid directly to the institution. Students are encouraged to combine this funding with other sources such as NSFAS or university bursaries.
