Teacher education scholarships

We are investing in the teachers of the future. Scholarship opportunities are available for those who wish to follow a career choice in teaching. Our School of Education has a range of qualifications to consider in line with this career area.

Student Engagement Bursaries

At Varsity College we encourage our students to participate in sports, social and our community. We have two committees that dedicate their time to organizing and engaging in such activities. Members of these committees have an opportunity to be awarded bursaries for their involvement.

Sport

Sporting success earns our students opportunities for scholarships and bursaries. Our students can apply for campus sports bursaries, or form part of our Sports Life programme. Bursaries and scholarships apply to sports where students may represent the brand for team sports or at an individual level. Discretionary bursaries may also be granted where student has achieved at a national or provincial level. A number of sports bursaries are campus specific.
