Boston City Campus Bursary Scholarship 2021

Boston City Campus has a mission to provide relevant quality education to all learners, with a vision of Education. For Life.  We wish to be involved in the learner’s life for an extended period, meaning that we are not just studying partners, but also work-life partners. We work in national, sectoral as well as local contexts. In this, we believe that all students should be given an opportunity.

Our bursary programme has been running since the inception of the campus in 1991. It has always been our aim to graduate as many learners as possible and see them through to the workplace. The bursary programme has evolved over the years, starting in Finance with an aim to increase the number of black CA’s in South Africa.  We maintain contact with graduates of this programme, who are now found in employment in the IDC as well as at African Bank.

We have a committee that evaluates every request for a bursary. These requests are submitted via the branch managers through our new SAM system. Applications are submitted with all relevant documents including ID’s, matric certificates and a letter of motivation.

Every submission is considered by the committee. An attempt is made to assist as many applicants as possible for the campus, bearing in mind extraneous financial responsibilities that will be placed on the learner such as transport, food etc. Of huge benefit to our bursary recipients is that they will not have to spend extra money on textbooks as all books are included in the learners’ fees/ bursary.

The committee manages and awards bursaries for both Boston City Campus as well as for Boston Media House, annually. Because our aim is to assist as many learners as possible, we assist with Boston tuition fees and textbooks, but we are not able to assist with external examination fees.

The committee will also focus on awarding bursaries to learners who have suddenly experienced financial difficulties and are unable to graduate without financial assistance. As mentioned above, producing work-ready graduates is a vision of the campus, and we will do everything possible to assist a learner through to graduation.

It has always been the belief of the campus that academic success is greatly increased when one matches a learner’s interest and talents to his/her career choice. It is for this reason that we allow bursary recipients to select their own career/ path of studies.
