Funding your education at the tertiary level can be challenging both to yourself and your family who are usually the sponsors. It is important that at this stage one seeks alternative methods of funding for their studies with little hassle on those that are close to you.
Part-time jobs most of the time might not be enough to carry you through your studies and lack the employment security needed for such an act as funding for studies. This is the reason we would encourage you to look for funding to cover you for your studies. Getting a scholarship might be beneficial in that it will allow you to focus on the studies whilst the financial aspect of things is taken care of.
Using the RocApply platform, we can help you discover scholarship opportunities that are out there. We would advise you to do a bit of research on other opportunities that are abundant online.
Scholarship opportunities might vary according to the level of study, program or field of study and origin of the applicant. Here is a list of opportunities you might consider applying for if you fit the criteria.
