Studies: I need help and my son needs help!

[Pooky]

I got a dean's commendation but nothing happened...

At UCT: Deans Merit List (above 70% aggregate) gets you a cool R9k. There is a limit to the number of top students that can get the funding though. So aim higher. Bursaries may be hard to get in the first year, but there are many opportunities further on.

Most bursaries cover the cost of accommodation too, so don't stress.

I was under the impression that only previous disadvantaged got bursaries. Am I wrong?

Wrong My ex got a bursary(white girl). Apply and hope for the best.

When applying for the national loans being white does not have an effect, I got one (UKZN). Also try transnet, know a few engineering friends who have from them.
