St John's Parish Wynberg Educational Fund

2027 Educational Assistance Application
St John’s Parish Educational Fund (Registration No. 003-451 NPO) proudly celebrates its 37th year. The Fund aims to support learners in financial need, helping them pursue their chosen careers by contributing toward their tertiary education.

The St John’s Educational Fund provides financial assistance towards educational fees for eligible learners, subject to the Fund’s assessment criteria and available resources.

The Fund criteria:
- Applicants applying for their first tertiary qualification
- These include University, Vocational, TVET studies, appropriate bridging courses and honours where it forms part of the first qualification.
- Only institutions accredited by DHET/ SAQA
- Applicants must have passed their previous academic year.
- Proof of financial need
- Available for interview
Please note:
- Your documents need to be clear and visible and certified where required. Documents should be submitted in PDF format, and no phone images will be accepted. Certification cannot be older than 3 months. This application is open to both new applicants and existing recipients applying for continued assistance in 2027.
- Applications must be submitted every year. Financial assistance is awarded for one academic year at a time, and all applicants, including existing recipients, must submit a new application each year. Previous assistance does not guarantee continued funding, as all applications are reassessed annually based on financial need and the Fund’s available resources.
- The Fund provides assistance towards approved educational fees only. Stationery, transport, accommodation and other non-fee expenses are not covered. Attendance at the interview is essential to the assessment process. Interviews will take place at the end of Jan/Feb 2027. Dates will be confirmed via email. Learners are required to declare awards received from other sources, as well as household income.
Before starting the application, please ensure you have the required supporting documents available. Incomplete applications or missing documentation will not be accepted. Please submit your application by 18th December 2026.
