BURSARY
Information
How are bursaries awarded?
Bursaries are awarded according to academic merit, financial need and the requirements of the various
universities and the availability of funds.
Final selections are made by the SAPOA BURSARY FUND.
Bursary funds are paid out directly to tertiary institutions and other relevant service providers – bursary fund
monies are ONLY paid out directly to students under exceptional circumstances.
Who is eligible for a SAPOA Bursary?
ONLY citizens or naturalized citizens of the Republic of South Africa.
ONLY applicants who intend to study or who are already studying for a property related qualification at a
tertiary Institution in South Africa, which is registered and accredited with the Council for Higher Education
(CHE).
Applicants who intend studying for a post-graduate qualification e.g. Masters or Doctoral degrees are
not eligible unless such qualification will award the applicant registration in the property industry.
Disclaimer
Applicants are under no circumstances secured of, promised or guaranteed a SAPOA Bursary. SAPOA reserves
the right to shortlist, invite and thereafter select applicants as seen fit by the various selection committees. Only
applicants that comply with the minimum requirements will be considered for a SAPOA Bursary. SAPOA will not

Upon successful completion of the study period, SAPOA may offer students an opportunity to be employed
within SAPOA or its member companies through the Graduate Development Programme. Employment with
SAPOA or its member companies is not guaranteed, and SAPOA is under no obligation to make such an offer.
