Welcome to BursaryAlerts (https://bursaryalerts.com). These Terms of Use set the rules for using our website. Please read them carefully. By visiting or using the site, you agree to follow them. If you disagree with any part, please stop using the site.
In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean BursaryAlerts, and “you” means anyone who visits the site.
About the Website
BursaryAlerts publishes educational guides on bursaries, scholarships, learnerships and study funding in South Africa. We are an independent information website. We are not a bursary provider, a university, a government department or a funding administrator. We do not accept applications, award funding or decide who qualifies.
Information Only, Not Advice
Everything on this site is general information. It is not financial, legal, academic or career advice. We work hard to keep our guides accurate, but bursary providers change requirements, fields of study and closing dates without notice. Sources also sometimes disagree with each other.
Always confirm details on the provider’s official website or application platform before you rely on them or submit an application. You are responsible for the decisions you make and the applications you submit.
No Guarantees
We do not guarantee that you will receive a bursary, a place at an institution or a job because you read our content. We also do not guarantee that any page is complete, current or free from errors. Funding decisions rest entirely with the bursary providers.
Use of the Website
You may use the site for lawful, personal and non commercial purposes. When you use it, you agree not to do any of the following.
Do not attempt to damage, disable or overload the site or its servers. Do not try to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its systems. Do not use bots, scrapers or automated tools to copy content in bulk. Do not use the site to send spam, malware or misleading messages. Do not use our content or our name to mislead others, including by claiming a connection to us that does not exist.
We may block access if we believe someone is breaking these rules.
Intellectual Property
The articles, text, layout, logo and design on this site belong to BursaryAlerts or its licensors and are protected by South African and international copyright law. You may read the content and share links to our pages. You may quote a short excerpt with clear credit and a link back to the original page.
You may not copy, republish, translate or sell our content, in whole or in part, without our written permission. Please do not copy full articles to other websites or social media pages.
Bursary names, logos and trademarks that appear on the site belong to their owners. We mention them only to identify the programmes we write about, and their appearance does not mean the owners endorse us.
Third Party Links and Content
Our guides link to official bursary pages, universities and government portals. We do not own or control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices. Visiting them is at your own risk, and their own terms apply once you leave our site.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
We display advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense, to cover the cost of running the site. Ads are provided by third parties, and we do not control which ads appear. The appearance of an ad does not mean we recommend the advertiser, its products or its offers. Any sponsored content we publish will be clearly labelled. Our Privacy Policy explains how ads and cookies work.
You should check any advertiser’s claims yourself. Never pay a fee to apply for a bursary, and never share sensitive personal details with anyone who contacts you claiming to represent a bursary provider unless you have confirmed they are genuine.
Scam Warning
Fake bursary offers are common in South Africa. We will never ask you for money, ID copies, banking details, passwords or one time PINs. If someone claims to represent BursaryAlerts and asks for any of these, do not respond and report it to us at [your email address].
User Messages and Submissions
If you send us a message, a correction or a suggestion, you confirm the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it. You give us permission to use your feedback to improve the site. We will treat any personal information you send in line with our Privacy Policy. Please do not send sensitive documents such as ID copies or bank statements.
Limitation of Liability
We provide the website and its content “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, BursaryAlerts and its owners, editors and contributors are not liable for any loss or damage that arises from your use of the site or your reliance on its content. This includes missed deadlines, rejected applications, lost opportunities, errors in third party information and technical problems such as downtime or viruses.
Nothing in these terms removes any right you have under South African consumer protection law that cannot legally be excluded.
Availability and Changes to the Site
We may change, suspend or remove any part of the site at any time without notice. We do not promise that the site will always be available or free of interruptions.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We will post the new version here and change the “last updated” date above. Using the site after an update means you accept the revised terms, so please check this page now and then.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute that arises from them falls under the jurisdiction of the South African courts.
