SATC BURSARY SCHEME
SATC offers two prestigious bursaries per year for fulltime M or D students in transportation working on their research component. The funds will be disbursed to the university where the student is resident. The student must have been admitted for the programme.
- The SATC bursary is a prestigious one and will not be allocated to students who also receive other bursaries.
- The bursaries may be renewable depending on progress.
- If the student is unsuccessful and does not complete the study, the bursary amount has to be repaid, with interest.
- The bursaries are open to Southern African students.
- The student will sign a contract stipulating the above conditions. SATC has the right to interact on the student’s research programme.
Applications for 2027 bursaries will open in December 2026.
