Study Loans
Are You Looking into a Bursary or a Study Loan?
Bursaries
There are multiple bursary providers listed with information about each specific bursary. Each provider has their own specific criteria, requirements for submission and deadlines.
Please ensure to research accordingly and engage with the bursary provider directly on their application procedure; however feel free to ask us advice about bursary applications during your consultation or visit to one of our Open Days.
It is advisable to have submitted your AFDA application, had your consultation with us and make use of your acceptance letter with your bursary application.
We unfortunately cannot guarantee the accuracy of all the content, nor the terms, conditions or criteria of the bursaries should the information change after us publishing this information.
Top Tip:
We suggest applying for as many bursaries as possible that you meet the criteria for, as well as considering provisional application for a study loan so you know whether this is an option for you.
Student Loans
There are many financial institutions that offer student funding, including big banks and other financial service providers, such as Capitec (please see more information below), FNB, ABSA, Nedbank and Standard Bank.
Top Tip:
We recommend that once you have received your acceptance letter over email, that you use it to apply for your Study Loan in the year before you enrol and start studying at AFDA.
Some Options for Student Loans:
Every bank/institution have their specific criteria of what to apply with and will offer you a different interest rate. These are the fees that a bank charges you to borrow money from them. So shop around until you find the best deal that suits you.
