South African Actuaries Development Programme Bursary for 2027

The South African Actuaries Development Programme supports students from under-resourced backgrounds who intend to qualify in Actuarial Science. The 2027 programme information states that applicants must be Black or Coloured South African citizens and must study Actuarial Science at one of the programme’s partner universities. The bursary considers financial need and academic potential, and students already holding a full bursary from another funder may not qualify.

SAADP provides financial assistance and student support intended to help recipients complete their actuarial studies. The programme also offers academic and social support through mentorship, life-skills development and guidance. Applicants should consult the current SAADP portal for the full university list, academic requirements, supporting documents and funding conditions.

The official application terms state that applications must be submitted before the published closing date of 30 September. The 2027 cycle has closed, and the next opening date has not been announced on the official portal.
