Professional engagements, language combination, and previous SATI awards, will affect decisions while selecting the right applicant.
What does the bursary cover?
The SATI bursary is not a full bursary and will not cover all costs that are needed to study. That is why they want proof that you are able to pay for the rest before they will award you their bursary.
They will pay the bursary amount in 2 parts.
The first part is 50% of the total amount at the beginning of the year, and the second part.
The other 50% is in the 2nd semester with the submission of the student’s results from the 1st semester. The results should show an average grade of 65% success in all language practice subjects.
