What is the South Africa Bursary Chance Checker?
Every year, thousands of South African students try to get bursaries – a type of scholarship that can help pay for school.
A lot of students feel unsure about whether they qualify, or if their grades are good enough. The Bursary Chance Checker was created so you can find out your real odds before you spend time filling out applications.
The tool is simple, quick, and gives you a clear picture of where you stand and how to improve.
How It Works
| What the checker does | What you’ll see |
|---|---|
| Looks at your subjects and grades | High / Moderate / Needs Improvement rating |
| Considers your household income | How much money your family makes |
| Checks if you’re a South African citizen or permanent resident | Eligibility for local bursaries |
| Looks at whether you have a disability (if you want to include this) | Any special support you might qualify for |
| Determines if you’re currently at a TVET college or university | Your current enrolment status |
| Takes into account your province and field of study | How your location and major affect chances |
| Gives you a link to the latest bursary opportunities | A quick way to see which bursaries are still open |
You only need a few pieces of information – your most recent marks, a rough idea of your family’s income, and basic details about your studies. Everything else is processed automatically.
