Hi I am currently doing Btech in management accounting at Mangosuthu university of technology, and i'm financially needy, are there any bursaries that can still fund me for 2018 academic year

Hello, Mabala -

I have no idea why you would post a question about NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme in South Africa) on a website such as Fixya.com, which is intended for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING THINGS. Sadly, it seems too many South African university students do so.

This is the link to the NSFAS home page:

Contact NSFAS directly and ask how to change your cell phone number on your NSFAS account information.

Fixya.com has no affiliation with NSFAS.

Best wishes.

Hello, Siphelele -

Fixya.com answerer Steve is correct that Fixya.com is a website intended for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING THINGS.

Suggestion: Regarding questions about education, seek out a teacher or administrator of your school or, if there is a public library (a library funded with local or regional government finances) or university library near where you live, seek a librarian, and ask them.

That point being made clear, I suggest you contact someone knowledgeable at Mangosuthu University, Durban, South Africa.

I am answering from the USA and am not sure what you mean by "bridging course." It is not a term used in American English. :)

This is the link to the Mangosuthu University home page:

At the bottom left of the home page you will find a telephone number you can call (during normal weekday office hours) and ask you questions. I do see the university has a program in Public Administration:

Hello -

Fixya.com, a website intended for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING THINGS, has no affiliation with the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) in South Africa.

You will need to contact NSFAS directly. This is the link to the home page:

Note: Fixya.com is not the best website for questions on Higher Education (University) or financial aid and bursaries in South Africa. Instead a teacher or administrator at your current or former secondary school may be a reliable person to ask your questions.

Best wishes.

Hello, Asivile -

Fixya.com is not the best website for asking about bursaries (financial aid for university studies) for any courses of study.

Fixya.com is intended as a website for asking and answering questions about how to go about REPAIRING _THINGS_.

Plus, your question landed in the Fixya.com category for Computers & Internet and not the Financial Aid category, where it belongs.

Plus, you do not state where you are located (what country). The answer will depend upon your country of residence and where (what country) you want to study.

Instead, I suggest you ask your questions of a teacher or administrator of your current or former secondary school. Or, there may be a public library (one funded with local or regional government money) near you. If so, ask your questions of a librarian there.

I am a librarian by profession in the USA.

Best wishes.

Hello, Youngama -

First, Fixya.com is intended as a website for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING _THINGS_.

Second, I believe you reside in South Africa. If so . . . I recommend you ask your questions about bursaries to help fund your university education and other questions related to university study of an administrator or teacher of your current or former secondary school. Once you are a university student there will be administrators, faculty, and librarians at the university of whom you can ask your questions.

Those points having been made . . .

This is the link to the Funza Lushaka Bursary website:
http://www.funzalushaka.doe.gov.za/
Read through the information there and follow the instructions provided.

I am a librarian by profession in the USA. How did I find the Funza Lushaka Bursary website? I used my favorite search engine, Google, and entered the name of the bursary as you wrote it: funzalushaka

The first entry of the search results was the link to the Funza Lushaka Bursary. How hard was that?

Best wishes.

Hello, Ayesha -

I hope there is someone at your current or former secondary school of whom you can ask your questions about NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS, in South Africa) and ask questions about university studies.

This is the link to the NSFAS home page:
http://www.nsfas.org.za/content/

If you scroll down that page, you should see a column headed STUDENTS. In that column, you should see a link for HOW TO APPLY. Click or tap on that link. Follow the instructions given there.

Note: Fixya.com is not the best website for asking about university bursaries or university studies in South Africa. Fixya is a website intended for asking and answering questions about repairing _things_.

By the way, your question landed in the Fixya.com category of Computers & Internet and not the category for Financial Aid, where it should be.

I have seen enough questions similar to yours, with others who volunteer to answer questions for Fixya.com providing rude, no relevant information replies that I feel I must at least try to provide relevant information.

I am a librarian by profession in the USA.

Best wishes.

-Good for you. Let's do it.


Good luck

Your school, college, or university has a financial aid office. You should apply there.
