Universities SA appeal to the Corporate Sector and Private Donors to continue to support Students through Bursaries and Scholarships

On 16 March 2018, USAf announced that there is a growing concern across the university sector that companies and individual donors who traditionally offered students and universities funding for bursaries are no longer doing so. It is believed that this change has come into being on the basis of the rollout of what is commonly spoken about as free higher education. This is deeply worrying and may potentially wound the futures of many students who have found their way into one of our 26 public universities and who do not qualify for the new student funding system.
