Bursaries have been awarded in 2009 for disadvantaged pupils covering boarding and tuition costs.

The amount allocated for a Bursary is dependent on the financial status of the recipient’s family, but in most cases the Bursary is either the full value of the school fee for the year or the boarding fee for the year.

Selection of Inanda Seminary Bursary Candidates

Inanda Seminary has a policy of offering Bursaries to pupils who come from disadvantaged backgrounds with priority being given to those who show aptitude in Mathematics, Science and Language.

The selection of these candidates is on the recommendation of the schools we have approached in the community. The final decision to award a bursary rests with the Bursary and Scholarship sub-committee of the School Board.

Inanda Seminary is fortunate to be a hub school of the M&E programme (Maths and English).  The aims of this programme run by ISASA are to:

• identify the talented among disadvantaged black learners in grade 9 who have the potential to succeed in mathematics and English at a university-entrance level, but who do not have opportunities to do so in their current schools
• obtain donor-funded scholarships/bursaries for three years for the learners, and
• place the selected learners in certain ISASA member schools for the FET phase (grades 10 -12) and help them obtain university entrance passes in mathematics and English, and the competencies to succeed in tertiary education.

Inanda Seminary 49 students participating in this programme in Gr 10, 11 and 12 and 2 teacher interns.
