Funza LuShaka Bursary

The Funza Lushaka Bursary is a government-funded programme designed to encourage talented students to pursue a career in teaching. The multi-year bursary supports students who want to complete a recognised teaching qualification and contribute to education in South African public schools.

Through the Funza Lushaka Bursary, eligible students may receive financial support that covers essential study costs such as tuition, accommodation, meals and learning materials. The programme focuses on developing teachers in priority subject areas where schools need qualified educators.

Students who receive the Funza Lushaka Bursary are expected to teach at a public school after completing their studies for the same number of years that they received funding. This helps strengthen education in South Africa while giving graduates valuable teaching experience.
