    Hi

    Is it mandatory for new employers to provide proof of submission of WSP? If yes, for which financial year? Lastly, are employers required to have prior MoU signed with HWSETA to qualify?

    Once a student nurse has been accepted for HWSETA bursary for nursing first year studies DN1 in 2024. Will the student automatically qualify for a bursary in 2025 – DN2. The student is underprivileged and registration for 2025 was due in January 2025. By what month will the institution be notified of the HWSETA bursaries 2025?

    I sincerely hope that this question can be cleared.

    I am a former HWSETA bursary recipient. I received the bursary through my tertiary late last year in my final year. So I had to pay accommodation costs cash because my residence was going through a sale so they wanted all accounts to be finalized before the sale. The second part of bursary only came through in February this year. I guess my question is can I get a refund to me from my tertiary institution as I have a due to me in my student accounts?
