BASEF Bursary Programs help students in need of financial assistance to start or complete their science fair project. Two programs are available for the 2025 fair:

Financial Assistance

Up to 10 bursaries of $30.00 each will be awarded to Grade 7 to 12 students in BASEF’s catchment area to assist with their project. Teachers are able to nominate students on their behalf. In order to be more accessible to students, we will be accepting student-based nominations.

Applications form available from November 18, 2024, 8am until December 21, 2024, 10pm here.

ARDUINO Kit

Up to 10 Arduino kits free of charge including:
• Project Starter Kit with Arduino microcontroller, prototype board, etc.
• 37 in 1 Sensor Modules Kit compatible with Arduino
• Digital Multimeter for measuring voltage, current, resistance, etc.

More details on the kit are available here.

Applications form available from November 18, 2024, 8am until December 21, 2024, 10pm here.

Student Requirements:
