Find & manage bursaries

Manny finds South African bursaries that match your study field and circumstances, drafts the application, and tracks deadlines so you never miss one.


Find & manage bursaries handles South Africa's full bursary landscape — NSFAS, Funza Lushaka, corporate funds from Sasol, Standard Bank, Anglo American, Old Mutual and the Vodacom and Discovery Foundations, plus the university-specific awards from UCT, Wits and Stellenbosch — without you trawling each portal. Manny reads your study field, year, institution and household income bracket from your profile, filters out anything you don't qualify for, ranks the rest by deadline, and pings you seven days before each one with the gap to close. You can ask Manny things like: "Find bursaries for a 2nd-year BSc Comp Sci student at UCT, household income under R350k." "Apply for NSFAS for me — pull my transcript from the student portal." "Draft the motivation letter for the Sasol bursary in my voice." "What's still open for matric finalists going into engineering next year?" "Remind me a week before every open application closes." This skill is useful when the difference between a funded year and a missed deadline is whether someone remembered to check the right portal on the right Tuesday — Manny remembers, drafts and pings.
