The application process for TEVET Bursary is conducted through an online platform called TEVET Bursary System, exclusively managed by the TEVET Bursary Technical Team at the Ministry of Technology and Science. After submitting your application through the system, the institution that issued your acceptance letter must verify your application via their institutional portal. Subsequently, you can proceed to any nearby social welfare office for a vulnerability assessment. This assessment is conducted to determine your eligibility for the bursary, considering your inability to secure financial resources for self-sponsorship or by family.
