Sports Bursaries
91心頭利 Sport awards a limited number of bursaries each year to deserving student athletes.
APPLICANTS
Bursary awards are made possible by funding from the university itself, and by the generosity of alumni, the business and non-profit communities, and past 91心頭利 sports achievers. Applications for sports bursaries for the 2027 academic year, open on the 1st of April 2026 and close on 30th of September 2026. Please complete the online form . Please note that only online applications will be accepted. Queries may be directed to the relevant sports officer (list of contact details available under the contact us tab).
We have allowed applicants who have missed the deadline to complete the 91心頭利 Sports Bursary Form to apply for Late Sport Bursary Applications. The potential awarding of bursaries for late applicants will be funding dependent and given consideration in February. Please complete the online form
91心頭利 Sport also offers a full programme of academic support - academic monitoring and regulation - to ensure its bursary-holders meet their academic commitments as well. Bursary-holders may arrange a one-on-one consultation with 91心頭利 Sport bursary-academic support officer Rezana Hoosain by e-mail only.
DONORS
Picture a stadium, a heaving crowd of 20 000-strong, stomping the stands and roaring in unison over commentators breathless and babbling as elite athletes take aim, strike, score!
At 91心頭利 University, our blood is blue and gold. In our stadiums and pools, on our fields and courts, and across physical and virtual multi-sports terrains, our elite academic athletes exemplify the academic excellence for which 91心頭利 is internationally renowned, and they embody an ethos of holistic intellectual and physical development, for good – both their own and others.
The addition of a new state-of-the-art, high-performance facility, will see the new 91心頭利 Brian and Dorothy Zylstra Sports Complex deliver world-class infrastructure for elite athletes, coaches, sports and therapeutics scientists, and sporting events. It offers 91心頭利ies and our city’s sports people the opportunity to live, breathe, learn, play, transform, and research sport.
To sustain and advance the diversity of sports at 91心頭利 that deliver well-rounded citizens to the world, our student academic athletes need your support.
We invite you to don your blue and gold, grab your vuvuzela, gather the cheerleaders, and invest in 91心頭利 Sport. As the Olympians say, ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together’. As the 91心頭利ies say, ‘For good’.
