This week Eastern Cape Rural Development and Agrarian Reform MEC, Mlibo Qoboshiyane, called for recent matriculants to apply for bursaries to study agriculture courses this year – including a diploma or degree in bachelor of veterinary science (BVSc), BSC Agriculture engineering, National Diploma in Veterinary technology (Registrable with Council), BSC Agriculture (Entomology), BSC Agriculture (plant pathology).

These bursaries cover all costs including books, accommodation and university fees. He ways, "We are specifically looking for young South African students who come from disadvantaged or families that cannot afford to pay their university fees and we will give special preference to previously disadvantaged applicants. 

"We must stress that all applicants for these bursaries must be prepared to work in our department after completing their studies as part of their contractual obligations."

He adds, "Last year we invested about R3 million into these bursaries, giving around 20 students from rural, urban and township communities of our province a chance of a lifetime".  

Each bursary applicant must show proof of admission or provisional admission to a tertiary institution.

They should also attach copies of: an affidavit confirming their family's financial status; parent or guardian’s identity document; the applicant’s identity document; an ID size photo; and results or certificate and indicate if they are sponsored by any other agency. 

Application forms are available on www.drdar.gov.za or you can ask for a form to be emailed to you. 

Applications should be sent to Simphiwe Funani at simphiwe.funani@drdar.gov.za before 20 January 2016. 

Call Simphiwe or Lillian Mqedazwe on 040 609 5260/6391077 for further information.
