To ensure that SANRAL can support as many students as possible, we apply a ‘Means Test’ to all applications. The test determines the amount of assistance that SANRAL can offer based on your individual circumstances. While we try our best to cover all your expenses, there may be cases where a family contribution is necessary.

Depending on the outcome of the Means Test, the bursary provided by SANRAL may offer either a full or partial sponsorship.
