Our Mission
FundingPlug is South Africa's student funding directory. We built it because finding a bursary in South Africa is harder than it should be — information is scattered, outdated, and buried behind corporate websites that don't talk to students.
We are the plug. We find every bursary, every deadline, every eligibility requirement — and present it clearly, for free, on any device. No middlemen, no fees, no registration required.
What We Do
- ✓Curate and verify 30+ South African bursaries with full eligibility details
- ✓Generate 200+ searchable pages so every funding opportunity is discoverable via search
- ✓Help students filter by field of study, province, closing date, and eligibility criteria
- ✓Provide plain-language guides on NSFAS, SASSA, and how to apply for bursaries
- ✓Track bursary deadlines and send clear signals when applications are closing soon
- ✓Publish NSFAS and SASSA status explanations and payment date guides
Important Disclaimer
FundingPlug is an independent information platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any bursary provider, NSFAS, SASSA, or any South African government department. Information is for guidance only — always verify eligibility and deadlines on the official provider website. Bursary applications are always free.
