What is a "bursary"?
A bursary is a type of financial aid given to students to help cover their educational expenses, such as tuition fees or living costs. Unlike loans, bursaries do not need to be repaid. They are typically awarded based on financial need, although some may also consider academic performance or other factors. Bursaries can be provided by schools, universities, charities, or government organizations to make education more affordable for students who require assistance.
Examples
