How we check every bursary
- Funder sources only. We read the funder's own website, application portal or official notice. We never copy dates from other listing sites.
- A dated status on every page. Each bursary page shows whether applications are open, closed or not yet announced, and the date we last confirmed it.
- Deadlines update themselves. When a closing date passes, the page switches to closed and drops off the closing-soon list the same day.
Spotted a date that has changed? Tell us at info@bursaryforms.co.za and we will check it against the funder.
