The SAMRO Foundation invites applications for bursaries for music studies. The SAMRO Foundation accepts applications from full-time students registered at a South African University. The bursaries are available to citizens of South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho or Swaziland who are registered for a degree or diploma majoring in music and are in their 2nd, 3rd and 4th years, or Honours, Masters or doctoral degrees.
Regrettably the SAMRO Foundation is not presently in a position to award bursaries to:
- students from private higher education institutions;
- university students in their 1st year of study;
- students in foundation or bridging programmes.
Each bursary is worth R10 000. The closing date for submission of online applications is 31 March 2016.
