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.
