  1. Dear Sir/Madam
    I would like to apply for a bursary at your institution for 2018-2019. I am doing Bcom Accounting second year at UJ. Being unable to pay for the fees, I am struggling to concentrate and deliver as I am trying to excel in my studies.
    I am hoping that my request will be considered and receive your positive response
    Yours Faithfully
    Vuyani Vena
