How to use it

Identify what the form asks you to explain Read the programme heading and the question beside the document request. The examples cover different needs: single-parent status, an unemployed parent or guardian, and an income section. Use the example that matches your application.
Keep each application’s requirements together The GCRA example concerns a bursary household document. The SASSA affidavit concerns a Child Support Grant. Do not assume that a paper requested by one programme will meet another programme’s request.
Check the earlier GCRA upload instructions The GCRA announcement described certification and upload requirements for that bursary application: all documents must be certified (not older than 3 months) and be uploaded in PDF format. Check the current application before using those instructions.
Review your statement for accuracy Make sure your statement matches the situation the application asks about. For the Northern Cape Premier’s Bursary, any misrepresentation of information shall result in immediate disqualification and or the bursary will be terminated.
