Boston’s committee manages and awards bursaries on a semester basis, following its admission applications.
Applications are done on Boston’s Bursary system by the branch manager; this is the only person that also deals with the submission of documents.
The documents that are needed for the bursary application include a copy of an Identity Document, matric certificate for new students, a strong letter of motivation of why you should be awarded the bursary and returning students are required to submit their Boston results.
The bursary covers tuition fees and textbooks only, which then excludes registration fees, external fees, travel costs, accommodation costs and stationery expenses.
As per Boston’s terms and conditions, should a student choose a qualification that exceeds the value of the bursary, the student will be accountable for the additional costs.
Should the student's fee account be less than the value of the bursary, no change will be given to the student and no credit will either go towards the student’s other modules/qualifications.
According to Boston City Campus, the bursary programme started in Finance with the aim to increase the number of black Chartered Accountants in South Africa and it has evolved over years ever since.
