Applications are now open for the 2025 South African Reserve Bank External Bursary Scheme.

In support of the corporate social initiatives of the SARB and its External Bursary Scheme, a number of external scholarships and bursaries are made available annually to needy qualifying Grade 12/Matric pupils (external bursars) to embark on full-time studies.

For students to be considered for the bursary, they have to meet the following requirements:
- provisional acceptance into an undergraduate degree at a South African university;
- achieved an average pass mark of 70% in the June Grade 12/Matric examinations, with the final awarding of the bursary subject to final results;
- be younger than 30 years of age; and
- be in financial need (unable to afford to attend university without a bursary).
