Clicks invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Bursary Programme vacancies. The closing date for applications is the 15th October 2025.
What is the Clicks Bursary Programme?
The Clicks Foundation is a big part of South Africa’s health and retail sector. They want to help university students who are studying hard in subjects that matter to the country’s future. That’s why they run a bursary programme – a way to give students money so they can focus on their studies instead of worrying about costs.
Why it matters:
- Gives students a chance to finish their degree without student loan debt.
- Supports subjects that help South Africa grow, such as technology, health and business.
- Encourages the next generation of leaders, doctors, engineers and scientists.
Which Studies can you get a bursary for?
The bursary covers many popular subjects you can start in your 2nd or 3rd year in 2026. Here are the main ones:
- Pharmacy
- Commerce in Data Science
- Commerce in Computer Science
- Commerce in Information Technology
- Commerce in Supply Chain Management
- Commerce in Logistics Management
- Commerce in Business Analytics
- Commerce in Digital Marketing
If you’re studying one of these, you could receive funds for your registration, tuition, texts and any extra study help you need. You’ll get the money for the academic year you’re in, not for previous years.

Who can apply?
Here are the simple rules you must meet:
| Rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| South African citizen | You must be a citizen of South Africa. |
| Age 19‑35 | Applicants must be 19 to 35 years old. |
| Average of at least 60 % | Your overall grade average must be 60 % or higher. |
| No other bursary | You can’t already have another bursary that covers the same courses. |
| Late applicants | If you applied in September 2025, no need to apply again. |
The Clicks Foundation also looks at how many students from different provinces and economic backgrounds are applying. They give extra preference to people with disabilities and from designated groups who may be underrepresented in higher learning.

What will the bursary pay for?
You’ll get help with the costs that usually trip up students:
- Registration fees – the yearly fee you pay to your university.
- Tuition – the cost of your courses.
- Books and materials – textbooks you must buy.
- Extra study support – help from tutors if you need it.
The bursary does not cover previous student loans or any fees you paid before you are eligible. It’s strictly for the current academic year you’re in.
