INISA Student Grant 2024

The INISA grant covers 75% of tuition fees and related costs (e.g. books and other study material; residence fees etc.) for the academic year of 2024 up to a maximum amount of Euro 1.500 (or the equivalent in local currency).

The applicant (m/f/d) should

• hold the nationality of one of the SADC countries;
• study full time at a University or other tertiary education institution in one of the SADC countries;
• be in the second or third year of his or her undergraduate studies, i.e. s/he has successfully completed at least one year of studies and has successfully re-registered for further courses in the next academic year. Please note: the INISA Student Grant is not applicable to postgraduate studies such as Honours, Masters or PhD programs.

The grant is open to students of all subjects, but particularly we encourage applications by science, engineering, economics and medical students. Should the grant be awarded to more than one student the maximum amount will be split equally. INISA requires the student to provide proof of tuition related expenses with a fees account record, as the grant amount covers a percentage of these expenses and needs to be calculated on that basis before any payment is possible.

The grant will be paid directly into the student’s fees account at the University. INISA requires the student to provide two reports on the progress of his/her studies in the year s/he is awarded the grant.

How to apply

To apply, please send the required documents in one email to inisastudentgrant@gmx.de.

Besides personal details including address, university and subjects, year of study and names and contact details of 2 persons (no members of your family) who support the application and can provide further information on you (please use questionnaire provided) you are asked to provide the following information:

1. A detailed CV
2. A photo of you (gif or jpg)
3. A letter of motivation (500-1500 words; pdf) The letter of motivation will be the main criterion for the consideration of your application. The object of the letter is to present a comprehensive pic ture of your personality; we would like to get to know you as good as possi ble. It should at least cover these aspects: Why did you decide to study a par ticular subject and what does the subject mean to you? What would you like to achieve with your studies, what would you like to achieve in your life? What do you do in your spare time? Why do you think you should be awarded the INISA grant? In which way would the grant make a difference to your studies this year?
4. Information on additional funding (grants, scholarships, tuition fee waivers etc.) from public or private sources.

Additional documentation (copies of diplomas, testimonials etc) is not required at that stage of the application.

The closing date for applications is Sunday, 1 September 2024. After assessing the applications INISA will shortlist any number of candidates and conduct interviews with them. Successful applicants will be informed on the status of their application in due course.

Standard Bank Student Loan Offers

Set your dreams in motion with a Standard Bank Student Loan Without Surety

Standard Bank is offering students an opportunity to get a Student Loan Without Surety – meaning you do not require a guardian or parent to be able to take up this loan. We understand that it may be stressful looking for funding, and that is why you need a bank that backs you.

Minimum Criteria

• You must be a South African citizen.
• Your Gross Household Income must be less than R600 000 per annum.
• 3rd Year students and upwards within Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematic, Commerce, Health Sciences and 5th Year students in Medicine.
• Open to existing Standard Bank Transactional Account holders. You may apply for one using our digital and other banking channels if you don’t have one
• Study at one of our participating universities

How does it work?

• The loan maximum is R120 000 per annum, which can be used to cover tuition, accommodation, books and study equipment.
• There is no expectation of repayment on the loan while you are studying. However, you will be expected to start repaying the loan six months after completing your studies or as soon as you secure employment. Of course, it will be to your advantage to reduce your balance by making some payments while studying.
• Monthly interest and service fees will be charged from the loan’s inception and will be added to the outstanding balance.
• This loan can cover your existing university student debt up to R80 000 for each previous year that may be preventing you from completing your studies
• Competitive interest rates apply.
