SARF Road Transport Bursary Benefits
SARF offers bursaries to the right candidates that provide not only financial support but also invaluable industry connections and support. While the bursary’s value depends upon the individual needs and the Federation’s Council decision, it serves to supplement a student’s other finances, easing the monetary burden. Moreover, the funds are paid directly to the academic institution on the bursar’s behalf, simplifying the process.
Bursars can expect to be part of a vibrant and supportive community. Along with the financial aid, you’re expected to enroll as an associate member of SARF, opening up networking opportunities and industry insights. Furthermore, the opportunity to present your study’s subject to a local SARF branch is not only a chance to showcase your skills but also an excellent platform to interact with industry professionals.
