South African Reserve Bank (SARB) is accepting External Bursary Scheme applications for undergraduate studies.

The studies that students intend to pursue shall have a bearing on, but shall not be limited to, the functions and activities of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).

What the South African Reserve Bank does

The SARB serves the economic well-being of all South Africans through maintaining price stability and financial stability. It is responsible for the regulation of the South African financial sector, the design and distribution of banknotes and coin, the management of interest rates, setting the cash reserve requirement for banks, and ensuring the stability of both the banking sector and the wider financial system.

The purpose of the bursary

In support of the corporate social initiatives of the SARB and its External Bursary Scheme, a number of external scholarships and bursaries are made available annually to needy qualifying Grade 12/Matric pupils (external bursars) to embark on full-time studies.
