TEVET bursary: questions
Does the TEVET bursary cover any accredited college in Zambia?
No. TEVETA accreditation and national bursary eligibility are two different tests. The bursary is for TEVET institutions under the Ministry of Technology and Science, so confirm that your specific institution participates before you count on funding.
What does the TEVET bursary actually pay for?
Tuition and examination fees. Accommodation, meals, transport and personal expenses are described as met by parents or guardians, so budget for those yourself.
Do I need to already be in school to apply?
You need an admission or acceptance letter, but you do not have to have started classes.
When should I apply?
The window follows the academic year. Check the live session on the TEVET bursary portal rather than relying on a date you saw elsewhere.
What documents do I need?
A Green NRC, your school qualification, an admission or acceptance letter, and an electronic social welfare report from an assessment by social welfare officers.
What if my application is unsuccessful?
The portal provides an Appeals option alongside the application and tracking functions. Check your decision under Track Applications and use the Appeals route on the portal.
