DENOSA invites students to apply for DENOSA Bursaries Programme 2023 academic year. Read details and how to apply below.
Bursary Application closing date is 31 January 2023
Bursaries will be awarded to fully paid‑up members of DENOSA, for Nursing studies towards the following courses:
- Bridging courses and short courses
- Community nursing science
- Community health nursing, psychiatric nursing and geriatric nursing
- Postgraduate studies (at a University or Technikon)
- Clinical Master’s degree programme
The bursary award will only cover a small portion of tertiary expenses, therefore students are required to have funding for the shortfall.
Bursary recipients will be required to reapply for funding each year, and funding will be granted based on academic performance.
Applicants will receive feedback on whether their application was successful, from April 2023.
Bursary recipients must submit progress reports to the secretary, by no later than 14 February each year, until the end of the course of study.
