Mediclinic Bursary Programme : How to Apply

Application status checked on 10 November 2026: Mediclinic’s external bursary page says applications are not open for the 2027 academic year. This is a preparation guide, not an announcement of an open intake.

What the Mediclinic bursary supports

Mediclinic lists limited external bursaries towards course fees for students enrolling or already enrolled in nursing, pharmacy and emergency medical care. Its official external bursary page does not specify a funding amount or promise full-cost support.

Who can be considered?

• Prospective first-year students need Grade 11 or Grade 12 results consistent with entry to a bachelor’s programme.
• Students applying for later years need their programme results to date.
• Applicants need proof of acceptance or registration at a registered institution offering the programme.

Mediclinic considers the financial position of the applicant or their parents and gives preference to Employment Equity candidates.

How to apply when an intake is advertised

1. Check the official bursary page first. Confirm that a new intake has actually been announced before preparing a submission.
2. Follow “Browse Bursary Opportunities”. Use the route linked by Mediclinic and read the specific advertisement before deciding whether you qualify.
3. Prepare clear supporting records. Keep your academic results and acceptance or registration evidence ready. Follow the eventual advert’s document requirements rather than treating a general checklist as final.
4. Check every field before submitting. Make sure your name, contact details, course and institution are consistent across the application and documents. Save the submission acknowledgement for your records.

External bursaries and Mediclinic study programmes are different routes

Applying for admission to a Mediclinic Higher Education programme is a separate process. Mediclinic’s formal-programme application guide explains registration with an email address and cellphone number, preparation of certified academic and South African identity documents, and selecting a programme advertisement through its opportunities portal.

Do not assume that registering a profile or applying for a study programme automatically submits an external bursary application. Check the requirements of the exact opportunity you intend to pursue.

What to check before accepting funding

Ask for written confirmation of the costs covered, any funding limits, renewal conditions and obligations after graduation. Compare these with your own tuition and living-cost budget before committing. Do not assume accommodation, meals, transport or study materials are included unless the funding offer expressly says so.

Mediclinic’s Higher Education FAQs say limited bursaries may be offered to successful candidates during selection for its programmes, and bursary recipients have work-back obligations governed by their agreements. Read the agreement applicable to your own award rather than assuming that one programme’s conditions cover every bursary.
