Three bursaries, each in the amount of R5000, will be awarded to successful applicants and funds will be paid directly to the institutions at which these students will be studying. The monies may be applied, at the discretion of the institution head, towards tuition, materials, or whatever expenses will best assist in supporting the student's design studies for 2005.

Applicants are required to demonstrate financial need as well as the potential for achievement in their chosen field of study. Together with the application forms, that are available for download on the think website on www.think.org.za, applicants must also submit a portfolio of work or motivation to demonstrate the above requirements.
