South African Nursery Association (SANA): Bursaries 2022

South African Nursery Association (SANA) invites students to apply for Bursary Programme 2022.

Bursary Closing Date: 31 March 2022

Bursaries will be awarded for studies towards Horticulture and Landscaping qualifications – mainly undergraduate studies, although postgraduate (PhD, Masters and BTech students) may receive funding on a case-bycase basis.

The bursary will only provide cover for tuition fees and is awarded for the current academic year of study. Funding is paid directly to the institution.

Please note that the bursary does NOT cover the following: outstanding fees, registration fees, accommodation and any other fees (practical training, travel, allowances, prescribed books etc).

Bursary recipients will also be required to become SANA members (free of charge), which will have the following benefits:

• Regular communication via electronic newsletters – this covers matters relating to the industry, important dates and more
• Digital copy of the annual SANA Magazine
• Invitation as a visitor, to the fast growing SANA TRADE FAIRS, allowing members the chance to view how the nursery industry operates – this takes place twice a year in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal
• Membership is valid for 1 year – student members are required to reapply each year

Shortlisted candidates may be contacted and invited to attend an interview with a SANA representative in their area, which will take place in April 2022.
