About the program
The Cipla SA Bursary Programme is aimed at creating equal opportunities for South African youth from diverse backgrounds. The bursary provides funding for students studying in approved fields that align with the Cipla Graduate Skills Programme. Cipla SA awards bursaries to students registered at accredited public tertiary institutions in South Africa, helping them gain the qualifications needed for future employment and graduate opportunities.
