Zonax Holdings Opens 2026 Bursary Funding for Unfunded Students
Zonax Holdings has opened applications for its 2026 bursary programme, giving South African students who are not funded by NSFAS or any other bursary a real chance to continue their studies. This bursary is aimed at students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds who show academic potential but face serious financial pressure.
For many students, funding is the biggest barrier between registration and graduation. The Zonax Holdings Bursaries 2026 are designed to close that gap by supporting students who would otherwise be left behind.
Applications close on 31 January 2026. Late or incomplete submissions will not be considered.
About the Zonax Holdings Bursary Programme
The Zonax Holdings Bursary Programme is a private funding initiative that focuses on access to education and skills development. Unlike many bursaries, this programme specifically targets students who do not qualify for NSFAS and are not receiving any other financial support.
Funding is awarded at the discretion of Zonax Holdings and is assessed on a case by case basis. This means students are evaluated on their academic record, financial need, and commitment to completing a recognised qualification.
The bursary is not limited to a single institution or field of study. Instead, it supports students enrolled at recognised tertiary institutions across South Africa, provided all eligibility requirements are met.

Who Should Apply for the Zonax Holdings Bursaries 2026

If you are already funded by NSFAS or another bursary for your current course, your application will be rejected automatically.
Why This Bursary Matters
Many students fall into the gap between NSFAS and private funding. Their household income may be slightly above the NSFAS threshold, yet they still cannot afford tuition, accommodation, or study materials.
The Zonax Holdings Bursaries 2026 are designed to support these students. This is not just financial help. It is an investment in students who have already shown commitment to their studies and need support to finish what they started.
By supporting unfunded students, Zonax Holdings contributes directly to building a stronger, more inclusive workforce for South Africa.
What the Zonax Holdings Bursary Can Help With
The exact value and structure of the bursary depend on individual circumstances and the decision of Zonax Holdings. Funding may include support towards:
- Tuition fees
- Registration fees
- Study related costs approved by the institution
Applicants must submit proof of study costs to allow Zonax Holdings to assess the level of support required.
