SANRAL High School Scholarship – Grade 8 to 12 Funding in South Africa

The closing date has passed. Applications for the 2027 SANRAL High School Scholarship closed on 30 September 2026. Today is 18 October 2026, so you can no longer apply for this round. Check the official SANRAL scholarship page to see if any late call is announced. Otherwise, plan to apply next year (the last few rounds all closed on 30 September, so aim to apply by early September 2027 for the 2028 school year)

Documents Do You Need?

Past rounds asked for these, and missing documents can get you disqualified:

• A 2-page motivational letter written by the learner, explaining why they deserve the scholarship
• A motivational letter from the school principal
• A motivational letter from the parent or guardian
• Certified copies of ID or birth certificate, and the parents’ IDs
• Recent school results
• Proof of residence

How to Apply (Next Round)

1. Watch the SANRAL scholarship page from about June.
2. Collect your documents early, and get copies certified.
3. Fill in the online form on the official portal.
4. Submit before the closing date.
5. Wait for a reply. In past rounds, if you did not get feedback within 3 months of the closing date, the application counts as unsuccessful.
