on the continent, will benefit deserving South African youth who meet the
minimum entry requirements set by the NYDA – youth who have been
admitted for study at Universities and Universities of Technology and

by a South African government department or a credible public or private agency.
The Scholarship Fund covers 100% costs of the student’s studies,
including tuition, books, meals and accommodation.
