The Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa, known as Land Bank, is offering an external bursary for agricultural studies. Its current webpage lists full tuition at CHE-registered Agricultural Colleges, prescribed books and materials, a monthly living allowance, and accommodation and meals where applicable. No allowance amount is published.

Application documents

Download and complete the official form. It asks for a recent ID copy, academic record and qualification certificates, one motivation/personal statement and one recommendation or testimonial. Its checklist also covers:

• Applicant and parent/guardian IDs; Grade 12/academic results and a tertiary acceptance letter.
• Income evidence, including salary advice no older than three months.
• Where applicable: death certificates, SASSA confirmation, Department of Labour unemployment proof and a medical certificate.

The form expressly allows submission while final results or an acceptance letter are still awaited. Complete all relevant declarations and signatures; late or incomplete applications are not considered.

Submit by 30 November 2026: note the email discrepancy

Land Bank’s current bursary webpage directs completed forms and supporting documents to bursaries@landbank.co.za. The downloadable form displays a conflicting .co.ca address. The address given here follows the current webpage; do not send to both. If clarification is needed, use the webpage’s L&D enquiry address with the subject “bursary query” before sending personal documents. Mailbox delivery has not been tested.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply before receiving final results? Yes, the form permits this while results or admission evidence are awaited; it does not waive the underlying eligibility requirements.

Is this automatically full funding for every applicant? No. Awards depend on selection, approval and available funding. Accommodation and meals are conditional, and the living-allowance amount is not stated.
