The Funza Lushaka bursary aims to promote teaching as a profession to young people living in South Africa and boost the amount of qualified teachers in the country.
The bursary is available to students studying towards a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree or a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). These are the two qualifications required to be a qualified teacher in South Africa.
Recipients of the Funza Lushaka bursary will cover tuition fees, accommodation including meals, books and learning materials. Students may also receive a living allowance if possible.
The Funza Lushaka bursary is renewable. Current bursary holders are required to reapply for the bursary annually before the end of November. The bursary is awarded for one academic year at a time upon proof of academic progress.
