The Department of Military Veterans' core purpose is to support military veterans and dependence thereof for their contribution to South Africa. DMV seeks to provide educational support to financially eligible military veterans and dependents registered on the DMV Database through bursary funding who meets the requirement.
The bursary covers full cost of study to students registered in institutions across the country in various fields of study.
The bursary covers the maximum prescribed benefit for tertiary education support for each qualified student, per academic year, subject to the annual maximum threshold (R88 600) and covers the following:
Students who are pursuing their studies in the medical sciences field: Biomedicine, MBCHB, Veterinary Sciences etc, many apply to be funded above threshold. The DMV will reserve the right to approve this application based on availability of funds.
This is a full cost bursary; beneficiaries are not required to repay the funds either through money or stipulated services.
It should be noted that as per Education Support Agreement, the student is given only one (1) chance to repeat if the learner failed during the duration of the studies, failing which the Education support will be terminated.
As such, the education support award is not intended to enhance any existing financial support provided by other organisations.
Students who are funded by other organisations are urged to withdraw from the DMV support by signing a withdrawal form available with NSFAS funder relations. Should that be known the support will be terminated immediately.
NSFAS has been appointed to financially administer the DMV bursary funding, since 2013 and its roles and responsibilities are set out in an approved MOA that was signed on 01 October 2020. To date, the DMV has funded more than 500 graduates through this partnership.
