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.

Courses of study covered

Undergraduate SANC-recognised Nursing qualification
Diploma in Nursing
Bachelor of Nursing (BCur)

What the bursary covers

Full tuition fees paid for the standard duration of the qualification
Monthly living stipend
Professional mentorship and industry guidance
Pre-placement medical screening arranged and funded by the foundation
