Options to fund your Bushwise course
We understand that investing in your education is a big decision, which is why we offer several ways to make your Bushwise training more accessible, including grants, scholarships, student loans, and flexible payment plans.
For South African citizens, Bushwise is recognised by most major banks as an educational institution, meaning students can apply for student loans to fund their training. We’ve also partnered with two organisations below to help speed up the process. Once you’ve enrolled in a course, we’ll provide a registration letter and full quotation to support your application with your bank or preferred loan provider.
Applications for Bushwise Foundation Grants and wildlife scholarships are also open to everyone. You can apply for a Bushwise Foundation Grant or a Wildlife Scholarship when enrolling in any in-person course to see if you qualify.
Alongside traditional bank loans, grants, and scholarships, we also offer flexible payment plans to help spread the cost of your course. Our enrolment team is available to guide you through the process.
Bushwise Foundation Grants and Wildlife Scholarships
We understand that paying for education is a big commitment. That’s why we offer Bushwise Foundation grants of up to £4,500 for qualified applicants! Contact us to enquire and apply.
Grants vs scholarships: What’s the difference?
Both grants and scholarships will help to reduce your Bushwise course fees – and neither needs to be repaid.
-
Bushwise Foundation Grants: Based on your financial need, these grants are designed to help remove cost as a barrier if the course would otherwise be out of reach for you.
-
Bushwise Wildlife Scholarships: Based on your motivation, potential, and suitability for a future in the field, scholarships are awarded if you show real promise for a career in conservation.
Anyone can apply for either option when applying for one of our wildlife courses – no academic records required.
Payment plans
Pay in full
- Pay the full amount upfront to save on your course fees.
