This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/funza-lushaka-bursary-2027
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] South African citizens with a valid South African ID
[ ] First-time applicants below 30
[ ] A bachelor's pass at matric or Grade 12, with level 4 (50%) in the two priority subjects you will specialise in
[ ] Accepted or provisionally accepted onto an approved B.Ed (or PGCE) at a South African university, specialising in Funza Lushaka priority subjects, with a student number, then apply online
[ ] You must apply for teaching posts in public schools after qualifying, and the bursary is repayable with interest if you break its conditions

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 31 January 2027, in 101 days.
- Aim to send it by 28 January 2027. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
