For sponsors and funders

Your bursary budget is not the bottleneck. Your pipeline is.

Apli puts your bursary in front of every student who qualifies for it, and returns verified, ranked, complete applications you can actually assess.

The cost of the old process

Great candidates never reach you. Admin does.

REACH

A narrow funnel

Your listing reaches the students who already know your brand. The ones who would have thrived on your programme never see it.

QUALITY

Unverifiable applications

Incomplete forms, unreadable scans and unverified marks. Assessing them fairly costs weeks of somebody's time.

SPEED

Months to a shortlist

By the time a decision lands, the academic year has moved on and the strongest candidates have taken other offers.

What Apli gives you

A verified pool, ranked before you open it.

✓Reach students across every faculty and institution on the platform
✓Every applicant's identity, marks and documents verified up front
✓Applications arrive complete, structured and comparable
✓Filter and rank by faculty, year, academic record and criteria you set
✓Shortlist in a working session instead of a quarter
✓Reporting that stands up to a transformation and impact audit
Getting started

Three steps to a live bursary.

01

List your bursary

Load your criteria, value, closing date and required documents. Apli turns them into a structured listing students can be matched against.

02

Receive matched applicants

Only students who meet your criteria can apply, and every application arrives verified and complete.

03

Shortlist and award

Filter, rank, compare side by side and make the award. Students see their status the whole way through.

The return

A bursary rand is not a cost line. It is the pipeline of people you will want to hire in four years.

Fund the students who were always going to be worth it.
