FoodBev SETA Bursary 2023 for Unemployed South Africans
FoodBev SETA is offering financial assistance to unemployed youth through bursaries. Known as the FoodBev SETA bursary programme, it aims to create the required talent pool for critical and scarce skills needed in this sector. As opposed to other traditional bursaries where students apply for funding, this bursary invites the universities to apply on their behalf. So students must get in touch with their university representatives if they want to get the funding for their education.
For the academic session, FoodBev SETA will award bursaries to Doctorate (PhD) or Master’s degree students. The study programme must be related to Food and Beverage Manufacturing and its value chain.
The bursary fund was created as a response to the growing need for research, development, and innovation in the F&B manufacturing sector. It has been awarding financial aid to needy students every year.

- For PhD students – Maximum funding of R 150,000 per annum, which covers tuition fees and research cost
The exact amount will depend on the evaluation, and it will be for the entire duration of the study.
