Emeris offers a range of bursaries and awards. If you’re a new student, you can learn more by booking an appointment with a Student Advisor at your nearest campus. If you’re a returning student, further information is available through the Student Relations Centre.

Students registering for their first year of study with Emeris who achieved a National Senior Certificate pass (or Grade 12 equivalent) with an average of 80% across six subjects (excluding Life Orientation) qualify for an NSC Award. 

Please note that the NSC Award cannot be used in conjunction with an Academic Scholarship. 

These bursaries form part of the prizes awarded to the top three schools participating in the Schools Quiz. Each bursary is handed over to the winning school, which then allocates it to a deserving learner of their choice. 

During our annual Open Days, a bursary competition is run per Open Day. All entrants must meet the qualifying criteria, including completing the required interviews and application process, in order to participate. 

This is awarded to any student with an immediate family member who is concurrently studying at Emeris. The value of the bursary is 5% of the qualification tuition only, which each student is registered for in the current academic year, provided the account payer is the same individual or company. This applies to both full-time and part-time students on contact or distance programmes. 

To complete your Bursary-Family Loyalty application, you must include proof that you are family (upload ID copies for both family members studying and an ID copy of the Account Payer or Company sponsor letter).

These are bursaries, which form part of the prizes won by the top 3 schools competing in the Schools Quiz. The bursary is handed over to the school that will then award the bursary to a deserving individual.

Leadership bursaries are awarded to prospective undergraduate contact students who held a senior leadership role at the school from which they matriculated. Recipients must be registered for a full complement of modules and must attend lectures at Emeris. This bursary covers one year of study and is not renewable.

Awards are determined based on sporting performance, positional needs, and the transformation requirements of each sports club.  

These bursaries are available to students who have achieved National Senior Protea colours in 2025. Preference is given to students competing in sporting codes in which Emeris participates at the USSA (University Sport South Africa) Championships. Focus sports include athletics, golf and swimming.
