 Education in South Africa - USSAS - University Scholarships for South African Students, Inc.
The South African Higher Education sector is, in a number of ways, rather different from the American college and university world Virtually all the institutions of higher post-secondary education in South Africa are funded and regulated by the state.
Furthermore, with the exception of certain peculiarities during the era of apartheid, it is the national government, and not the governments of the several provinces, that fund and oversee higher education.
The Universities are quite similar to universities in the United States or elsewhere, and a visitor familiar, say, with Yale or Michigan State or Vanderbilt would feel pretty much at home on a South African university campus.
