About W&RSETA Bursary Programme
W&RSETA invites applications for the 2024/ 2025 Bursary Scheme which is aimed at providing financial assistance to needy students to study wholesale and retail qualifications.
Closing date: 30 May 2024
W&RSETA has made available financial support for MBA/Masters and PhD/Doctoral students. The programme supports South African citizens only studying on a full-time or part-time basis who wish to pursue MBA/Masters and PhD/Doctoral studies with a focus on wholesale and retail.
The objectives of this financial support are to:
- Contribute towards an increase in the number and quality of South African postgraduate students within Wholesale and Retail Sector;
- Enhance research within the Sector;
- Build a pipeline of researchers in the South African Retail landscape; and
- Contribute towards professionalising the Sector to make it a career of choice
What the Bursary covers
The full bursaries cover all the costs of registration, tuition, books, accommodation, maintenance/meals allowance, editing and printing costs as well as travel costs to attend local conferences and seminars for MBA students and travel costs to attend local and international conferences for PhD students.
The bursary scheme will assist the Sector by providing a pool of potential employees with scarce and critical skills, thus narrowing the gap between supply and demand. It will further promote and position wholesale and retail as a career of choice.
