SPORTS BURSARIES

There are several sport bursaries available to students who have excelled in their sport disciplines (categories included in this brochure), in addition to students who are interested in becoming an IIE Varsity College Sports Club Administrator. There are three different types of sports bursaries on offer:

Sports Club Administrator Bursary

Critical to the success of the Sports Clubs on campus are the dedicated, committed and experienced Sports Club Administrators.

This bursary is applicable to the sports clubs offered on campus.

National Sports Club Bursaries

Bursaries are awarded depending on the positional and transformation requirements of each sports club.

Discretionary Sport Bursaries

Students who have achieved National Senior Protea colours, in the year prior to registration, can apply for a sport bursary. Preference is given to students participating in sporting disciplines offered by The IIE’s Varsity College or if it is a USSA sport. These sports include: cycling, surfing, canoeing, surfskiing, golf, swimming and athletics.
