Bursary description
Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology (Pty) Ltd acknowledges its responsibility to the South African Higher Education Act towards ensuring that sufficient graduates are produced to assist in addressing the unemployment rate in Southern Africa.
Approximately 47% of the South African population cannot afford tertiary education fees. Bearing in mind that we are a Private Higher Education Institution and receive no government funding or sponsorships, there is never sufficient funding for all applicants and all applicants are financially screened and listed in academic priority. For this reason, the policy and procedures for the awarding of bursaries have been developed to ensure that the Institution’s Bursary Scheme will enable the Institution to play a role in increasing the availability of appropriately qualified graduates to the respective industries and that this process is managed equitably.
