Coronation Exceptional Student Bursary 2025

Bursary Details

Since 1993, more than 100 students from underprivileged areas all over South Africa have been given the chance to achieve their dreams of a better future through the Coronation Bursary Programme.

The programme provides students with full tertiary bursaries to study at any recognised university in South Africa. These bursaries are awarded on merit and financial need.

Over the period of study, students are supported by trained tutors and matched with a Coronation mentor to assist with integration into university life. Furthermore, all students have the opportunity to gain practical work experience through vacation work, primarily at our Cape Town office.
