ALL APPLICANTS MUST NOTE THAT:
- The South African Actuarial Development Programme is an independent Non-Profit Organisation mandated to consider applicants who only applied to study Actuarial Science at one of its partner universities, i.e. the University of the Witwatersrand, the University of Cape Town, and the University of Pretoria.
- SAADP only supports Actuarial Science students who have gone through its selection process and have been admitted into the programme.
- SAADP relies on donations from both private and public companies to offer bursaries and pay for its operations. No bursaries may be offered if there are no donations received.
- All SAADP applicants are therefore encouraged to also apply for other potential funders that may be available.
- Due to the large number of applications received each year, applications must not expect any acknowledgment of receipt of applications.
