The Teraco Connect Bursary Programme only provides funding for your tuition and unfortunately does not cover any fees for books, accommodation, etc.
Please ensure you have an approximate cost of the qualification you have applied for as we will need this information for budgeting purposes.
If your application has been approved, you will not be able to change the selected qualification. Thus, it is extremely important that you do research about the qualification you are applying for and ensure it is a career that you wish to pursue.
