The Services SETA (SSETA) was established as a result of the Skills Development Act 1998 (No 97 of 1998) to perform such duties as prescribed by the act. An important component of these duties is the implementation of discretionary grants as per the Scarce and Critical Skills information taken from Chapter 4 of the SETAs Sector Skills Plan. One of the discretionary funding projects is to promote a bursary scheme to contributing member companies of the SSETA.

Should you wish to apply for a bursary, you will need to complete the Services SETA application form. Click here to download the form.
