None of the three cohorts of bursary recipients (i.e. NC(V) Level 4, N1-3 and N4-6) met the national performance
underperformed. This suggests that TVET Colleges are not applying the second eligibility criteria for bursary
recipients namely the academic merit criteria. In terms of the Rules and Guidelines for the Administration and
Management of the DHET-TVET College Bursary Scheme
and assisted in ensuring that both on-course academic support and non-academic support become compulsory,
especially for bursary recipients to ensure that there are targeted interventions aimed at improving results of
bursary recipients.
