The application window closes this Friday (10 October).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department is offering comprehensive financial assistance to Cape Town students enrolled at accredited South African academic institutions, including TVET Colleges. The bursaries cover full registration, tuition and examination fees.

They will also be assessed against the City\u2019s scarce skills list of needs. The bursaries come with a year-for-a-year service obligation period.
