Student bursary is provided to students who have either high academics or are considered to be in need of financial assistance. In the case of company bursaries, most companies expect the student to accept a position within the company once the student has qualified. In a sense the student would be working off the bursary. This relieves a lot of pressure from the student as there is a guarantee of a job after graduation. No doesn’t that sound great, walking out of varsity straight into a career in your field of study?
