The ‘Ex-PCE’ Bursary
This bursary was originally introduced by the Pretoria branch of SACEE. It sought to assist ex-students and teachers of the Pretoria College of Education with furthering their studies in the teaching and/or promotion of the English language. The Pretoria branch now wishes to attract applicants from a slightly wider field and the qualification criteria for this bursary are
now as follows –
The bursary is available for UNDERGRADUATE or POST GRADUATE study.
The course of study can be on any aspect of the English language, e.g. the teaching or promotion of the English language, involvement in the language, drama courses etc. The course can be by correspondence, part-time or full-time BUT IT MUST BE at a SOUTH AFRICAN educational institution.
Applicants must be South African citizens or residents.
The applicant’s normal place of residence must be in the PRETORIA area.
The bursary is available for course fees, the purchase of books, printing costs and, at the Bursary Committee’s discretion, any other incidental expenses which may be incurred. The applicant will need to show that he/she is a ‘deserving’ case.
The closing date for applications for the ex-PCE bursary is 31st July PRIOR to the year of proposed study – as for the Norah Taylor bursary.
