SATI BURSARY 2022
About SATI
South African Translators’ Institute (SATI) was founded in 1956 to promote the interests of South Africa's translation profession. SATI works in contemporary South Africa, with 11 official languages. It is also working to establish a culture that encourages multilingualism and preserves a tradition for translation and interpreting the South African languages. Multilingualism must be realized by properly trained language workers, such as translators or interpreters. SATI was concerned about the lack of qualified language workers in South Africa and decided to raise funds to aid a worthy student in translation or interpreting, especially in the languages that were previously excluded.
Who is eligible to receive a SATI bursary?
Students who have financial need are eligible for the SATI
bursaries. The SATI bursary is available to second-, third-, and
fourth-year students. The applicant must also submit an affidavit proving
that they have not received any other funding or bursaries to pay the same
expenses as the SATI bursary. The applicant must also prove that they have
other funding available to pay the remainder of the fees and expenses for the
year.

1 partial bursary to the amount of R10 000 will be granted. The bursary is paid in two equal instalments. 50% will be paid at start of year, and 50% in the second semester. This will occur after SATI receives bursary recipients' 1st semester results. These will show a minimum of 65% in all subjects of language practice.

How does the bursary get allocated?
SATI funding for bursaries can be limited so it is crucial
that it is given to students who have a high chance to succeed in their studies
and are likely to make an impact on the profession after they complete their
degree. Although financial need is the main criterion for applicants, they
are also evaluated on the basis their marks. Other factors that might be
considered include previous SATI awards, professional involvement, and
combinations of languages. SATI is unable to provide bursaries that cover all
costs for a course of study. The Institute will ask successful applicants
to show that they can pay all costs related to their course in the year before
the bursary is awarded. They must also disclose information about any
other bursaries they have received or anticipate receiving.
Please note that if any other bursary is paid, the SATI
Bursary will only be paid once proof of registration has been submitted for the
relevant course. Bursaries are paid in two tranches. 50% at the start of
the year, and 50% in the second semester after submission of student's
first-semester marks showing a minimum of 65% average in all subjects of
language practice.
