Sky's The Limit

Bursary Scheme

Bursaries in terms of the above scheme will be granted under the following conditions:

  1. Applicants must be registered at a tertiary institution KZN for the academic year in question. Applicants can be in any year of study but preference will be to students who would not be able to study if they did not benefit from the bursary.
  2. Preference will be given to applicants registered in one of the following areas of study: Commerce, Law Transport Economics or the Engineering Fields.
  3. Applicants MUST be the dependents of taxi operators or drivers who are registered in one of the Taxi Associations in KZN.
  4. Successful applicants will be expected to work using their qualification in the taxi industry for a period after they have qualified.
  5. The bursary will cover the cost of fees, accommodation and books and a living allowance may be paid under certain conditions.
  6. The bursary will be awarded for one year initially but will be extended for further years of study subject to satisfactory progress on the part of the student.
  7. The decision of STLTA in awarding the bursary will be final and any lobbying on behalf of an applicant will disqualify the applicant.
  8. STLTA can only support one student at a time on this basis so the bursary will not be awarded to a new student every year. Rather STLTA will support one deserving student through the course of completing their qualification and re-award the bursary once that student has graduated.

In order to be considered for this bursary, applicants must submit the following documentation to STLTA:

  1. Certified copy of ID 
  2. Confirmation of relationship to a taxi operator/driver in KZN
  3. Proof of Registration at a tertiary institution in KZN for the academic year in question and Student Number.
