Scholarships

The program's purpose is to encourage and support eligible students with an established South African connection as they pursue their education at an institution of higher learning

We are happy to announce that SA Potjie in Texas awarded $6,000 in scholarships to three eligible students in 2025! Each student will receive a $2,000 scholarship. 

The next cycle of scholarship applications will open at the beginning of January 2026.

We thank our sponsors and attendees for making this possible.  

1. Students must be enrolled in an accredited institution of higher learning located in the USA (college, university, trade or vocational school). Enrollment is as defined by the registrar of the institution. 
2. The student must have a South African connection. 
3. Payment of Scholarship: It is the responsibility of the scholarship recipient to send SA Potjie Texas their verifiable enrollment status documentation by February 9, 2025. After verification, the SA Potjie Texas will issue the scholarship payment made payable to the student.
4. Media Coverage: Scholarship winner images and names may be featured on SA Potjie Texas's website and social media channels. Winners must submit a recent photo of themselves (class photo preferred) and may also be asked to have their photos taken at the SA Potjie in Texas in September 2025 if attending.
