Good Day Sir/Madam
I am Henney Herbst a guardian to a military veteran’s son who passed away two years ago and is since in my care. The child is currently a Gr 7 learner and will be doing Gr 8 next year. I would like to know how much is the worth of the educational bursary as I want him to study at a High School where the tuition fee is R61 000.00 per annum. I would really appreciate if you can assist me in some answers as I want to apply online for GR 8 as early as the online applications open in June 2023.
Kind regards
Henney
