About this bursary
The Caroline Mack Foundation, operating together with SD Recruitment, offers one full-cost bursary award for nursing studies in the 2027 academic year. The funding package takes care of tuition costs and pays a monthly stipend to assist with general expenses.
This initiative aims at prospective healthcare workers based in the Western Cape who plan to pursue qualifications registered with the South African Nursing Council. It seeks to assist capable candidates who face financial obstacles in securing tertiary education.
Recipients agree to complete a work-back period after graduation. Your compulsory community service year counts directly toward fulfilling this service requirement.
Obligation
Graduates must complete a work-back service contract matching the funding duration, with the compulsory community service year counting as the first year.
