Since posting my article, “Where to Study Graphic Design in South Africa”, I have had a few queries regarding graphic design bursaries and financial aid for prospective graphic design students. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find much information, the reason being that most educational institutions will provide financial aid only once you have been accepting into the school. Below is a list of three bursary links which I found, but you had better act soon – only a few bursaries are available and most have a closing date.
Please contact me if you know any other bursaries available, and don’t forget to leave a comment!
Inscape Design College
Open Window School of Visual Communication
Style Design College
I like what you are doing to climatise people on the knowledge that you have about design and I am interested in graphic design for a short course but I did not do visual arts in grade 12 and the finance is tight so I would like to know where exactly can I search for busaries and which level should I start at before going for graphic design. Thank you
HI I AM LOOKIG FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNING BURSARY FOR 2012
Thanks for the comments! Nthabiseng, most design schools offer a foundation course which you can do first and then go into graphic design. For you and Nteboheleng, once you know where you want to study, ask them what financial aid they offer.
Hey i’d like to ask if you dropped out because of finances after 1st year can you apply for a second year
Hi Asanda, thanks for the comment. If you passed your 1st year, you should have credits to go directly into second year.
Letlotlo Nkwadi is doing grade 9 this year, 2011. She interested in graphic design and will be happy if you can grand her a bursary.

Hi Erica,Can a Multimedia design student get a graphic design bursary?
Hi Erica, my daughter has a natural talent for design and wants to live out this dream. We tried a lot of places for bursaries. Unfortunately some place only give a bursary for R10 000 and the course is R50 000 per year. It is too little. Do you know of companies where she can go and work and do the course through the company. She will be glad if she can do it through a company, because then she knows she already have a steady job. PLEASE HELP!

My daughter is a second year Graphic Design and Photography student at the Stellenbosch Academy for Graphic Design and Photography. She is currently doing very well and is at the top of her class. Do you know where we can apply for bursaries for her final year and maybe also of companies where she could apply and be assured of a job when she graduates?
Thank you
