UP BURSARIES FOR 2011

The University provides financial support packages for prospective as well as registered students with academic potential and clear-cut plans for the future. Undergraduate bursaries are available for both academic and non-academic achievement. Bursaries and loans are awarded on the grounds of both academic achievement and financial need.

The University considers applications for financial assistance from students who are South African citizens or permanent residents. Enrolled students with citizenship in SADC countries will be considered for UP undergraduate achievement bursaries, excluding top achiever awards, provided they meet the criteria. For UP postgraduate bursaries non-South African citizens are also considered for awards.

Prospective students must first apply for admission to the University. An application for study financing may be submitted only after a student number has been allocated.

Bursaries are fully repayable should bursary holders discontinue or terminate the study programme, for whatever reason, at any stage during the year in which the bursary was awarded. Should a bursary holder change his/her study programme during the year in which the award was made, the bursary value as initially awarded for the first study programme enrolled for, will remain unchanged. The award will therefore not be cancelled or adjusted upward/downward to align it with consecutive study programmes enrolled for.

Students previously registered at other universities must submit a complete academic record along with their application form. An application on which there is outstanding documentation or information will not be processed.

No bursaries will be awarded to students enrolled for a special study programme.

The University reserves the right to amend, without prior notice, the regulations and conditions applicable to the allocation of bursaries and loans. Apply here

MINTEK BURSARIES FOR 2011

The aim of Mintek’s Undergraduate Bursary Programme is primarily to ensure a steady supply of trained and highly skilled technical people to meet a major portion of Mintek’s operational, research, and development manpower intake needs, and also to provide appropriately-skilled graduates to the broader South African minerals and metallurgy sector, as per Mintek’s Mission Statement.

Mintek provides bursaries for undergraduate degrees, Honours degrees and BTech diplomas. (Unfortunately Mintek does not provide bursaries to students studying towards their National Diplomas.) Bursaries cover the full payment of registration, tuition and residence fees, plus an allowance, in return for a commitment to work at Mintek on a year-for-year basis. On completion of their studies, bursars undergo an intensive training course that is aimed at turning them into career scientists.

Mintek Bursaries Vacation Work

Mintek bursars are obliged to undertake vacation work at Mintek at the end of their first, second, and third undergraduate years for approximately 8 weeks. Vacation work affords Mintek the opportunity to impart to bursars the necessary knowledge, skills and experience that is needed to research, development and technology transfer to industry, and to evaluate them as potential employees. Every student is allocated to a technical division and is directly involved in a relevant Mintek project.

Unfortunately Mintek only hosts Mintek bursars for vacation work due to the fact that we do not have the capacity (specifically supervisory manpower and available projects) to host non-bursars for vacation work as well.

Postgraduate Bursary Programme

Mintek’s Postgraduate Bursary Programme further equips undergraduates through the development of research methodology skills at the Masters level, followed by the generation of original research that contributes new knowledge to a field at the Doctoral level. Bursaries cover the full payment of registration, tuition and residence fees, plus an allowance, in return for a commitment to work at Mintek on a month-for-month basis. Bursars are also given the opportunity to work closely with some of the world’s foremost researchers, learn more about other scientific divisions at Mintek and become involved in interesting research.
