ABOUT THE SAIV BURSARY PROGRAMME – FIELDS COVERED & COVERAGE VALUE

The South African Institute of Valuers (SAIV) is inviting students members to apply for their bursary programme for the 2022 academic year. Students who are studying towards a property valuation qualification (at undergraduate or postgraduate level), for a course accredited by the South African Council for the Property Valuers Profession (SACPVP), may apply.
The bursary will cover 1 academic year at a time and students are required to reapply for funding each year. Bursary recipients must submit their academic progress report after each exam, to the General Manager’s Office – funding for subsequent years will be based on satisfactory academic performance.
