Summary:

The Funza Lushaka Bursary is one of South Africa’s biggest government bursary programmes — made to support students who have a passion for teaching and want to make a real difference in the classroom.

It covers tuition fees, accommodation, meals, books, and sometimes even gives a monthly allowance. In return, once you finish your studies, you’ll teach at a public school for the same number of years that you were funded.

This bursary is perfect for anyone studying towards a Bachelor of Education (BEd) or a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) — especially if you want to teach in subjects and areas that need teachers the most.

If you’re serious about becoming an educator and changing lives, the Funza Lushaka Bursary is a solid start to your teaching journey.
