For those that are hoping to get some financial assistance to help with educational needs, a bursary might be the way to go. However, in order to get a bursary, applicants must first try to attain the funds by way of submitting a letter requesting to be considered as a candidate for bursary funds. Bursary funds work in basically the same way as a scholarship works, and as such, must be approached
. in much the same manner. The two main reasons that a bursary is awarded is due to merit and financial need. Once one of those two is satisfied, a bursary letter should be drawn up and submitted for consideration. A typical bursary letter must include information about the requester and the reason for the bursary request. For example, if the reason for the letter is based on financial need, the letter should attest to that fact, and if it is being requested on merit, details about the project, including its importance, should be duly noted.
