Since I started writing about all kinds of bursaries, I have noticed that the trend is growing for people searching for social work bursaries. I have only came across very few bursaries for social work.
Social work bursaries are offered by the Department of Health and the Department of Art and Culture. The aim of these departments is to development a pool of social workers who will join the public sector after completing their studies.
