WHICH SUBJECTS ARE FUNDED BY FUNZA LUSHAKA
The Funza Lushaka Bursary Scheme is part of a national programme that was initiated to promote teaching as a career and usually covers tuition costs, housing, meals, books, and educational materials in addition to a monthly living expense stipend.
Applications are now open and students can now submit their applications to the bursary scheme. It is important to note that the bursary scheme does not fund everyone who wants to do teaching or who is already studying teaching. In order to be considered for the bursary you should be willing to teach certain subjects.
