Investec Tertiary Bursary Programme for 2027

Investec, in partnership with StudyTrust, provides tertiary bursary funding to young South Africans with academic potential who need financial assistance to attend university. The programme supports science and financial-sector-related degrees at selected local universities and includes students from first year through honours level, subject to the current programme requirements.

Investec describes the award as a full bursary per year towards study-related expenses. The programme also provides academic, personal and work-readiness support to help bursars progress through university and prepare for employment. StudyTrust administers the bursary and may consider applicants for other bursaries managed by the organisation where applicable.

Applicants should review the current StudyTrust and Investec requirements before applying. Meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee selection, and bursary terms and conditions apply. The programme's study areas are focused on science and financial-sector-related degrees, so applicants should confirm that their exact qualification is accepted.

Investec's official tertiary bursary page confirms that applications for the 2027 intake are closed. The application period ended on 30 September 2026.
