The University of South Africa has extended the closing date for 2022 bursary applications for Honours, Masters and Doctoral qualifications.
The University of South Africa (Unisa) offers bursaries for postgraduate studies and have announced that the closing date for Honours, Masters and Doctoral 2022 bursary applications has been extended to 11 February 2022.
This means that students who have applied to study at Unisa for the first semester of 2022 should submit their applications before this closing date.
The initial closing date was 31 January 2022 but the university has decided to extend it.
