BANKSETA Bursaries

BANKSETA employs a multipronged approach on Work Integrated Learning and providing funding for bursaries. It currently engages with public institutions of learning to build capacity, thereby promoting access and reach. Each of the strategic relationships built with the public TVET colleges, Universities and Universities of Technology is designed in such a manner to either:-

  1. Improve how the institution responds to the needs of the broader banking and inclusive banking sector, through lecturer support; or
  2. Develop scarce and critical skills for occupations that are in short supply by the sector, through bursary support; and
  3. Bring demand (industry/ employers) for skills closer to supply (current workers / new entrants into the economy) of skills by address better use of work-based skills development.

WIL GRANT FUNDING
BANKSETA approves TVET colleges on an annual basis for Work Integrated Learning (WIL) grant funding, the aim of which is to assist the colleges to make links with employers in order for the learners to obtain the requisite workplace experience to make them more employable. BANKSETA manages the relationships between colleges and the sector employers by inviting the sector employers to various regional networking sessions, where employers are taken through the aims and objectives of the intervention, processes on how to become involved as well as meet the respective college contacts.
The college contacts are provided for those employers who wish to make contact now:

MERIT BURSARIES
BANKSETA covers the funding of bursaries through partnership agreements with Universities. The support is holistic (covering tuition, textbooks and accommodation, on or off-campus, depending on what has been arranged by the University).
Each institution will use its pre-determined entry criteria to identify learners to nominate for Merit Bursaries. BANKSETA Merit Bursaries are renewable annually and are dependent on the students’ academic progress.
The focus areas sponsored by BANKSETA are as follows:-
Actuarial Science (Accounting)
Bachelor of Science (IT)
Bachelor of Commerce (IT),
Bachelor of Commerce (Finance, Economics, Financial Markets or Financial Modelling streams); and
Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting).
These focus areas are aligned to the scarce and critical skills in the sector and the funding of bursaries will seek to address the shortage thereof.
