Free Tools: SRD Eligibility Check and Bursary Checklist

Free private tools: check whether you may qualify for the SRD R370 grant and track your bursary application steps. Nothing is stored.

Private by design: these tools run in your browser. Nothing you tick or type is sent to us or stored on a server. They give guidance only and never replace the official decision.

SRD Grant Eligibility Self-Check

Answer five quick questions to see whether it is worth applying for the SRD R370 grant. The rules are set by SASSA and can change, so treat the result as a first pointer and confirm on the Official SRD website.

1. Are you between 18 and 59 years old?
2. Are you a South African citizen, permanent resident or recognised refugee?
3. Do you receive another SASSA grant, UIF or NSFAS funding?
4. Do you have a regular income or other financial support?
5. Do you have a valid ID and a cellphone number in your own name?

How These Tools Work And Their Limits

The eligibility self-check follows the broad public criteria for the SRD grant: age, status, other support and documents. It cannot see your bank records, income checks or database matches, which SASSA performs during verification. A positive result does not guarantee approval, and a negative result does not always mean you will be declined, because rules are reviewed regularly.

The bursary checklist is a planning aid. Every sponsor sets its own requirements, so always read the official advert. If you are unsure about a step, use our Bursary application guide or the SRD application guide, then confirm with the official channel.

We built these tools to save time, not to collect data. We do not ask for your ID number, cellphone number or banking details anywhere on this website, and you should never type them into a site that is not the official service.

Disclaimer: Independent information website. We are not SASSA, NSFAS or any government body, and we never ask for your ID number, PIN or banking details. Always confirm final decisions on official channels.
