Do you want to invest in your future self but do not have the funding available upfront? We’ve got you covered. Student finance makes studying more affordable by spreading the payments over a longer term. Bakersfield College has collaborated with Student Hero to help our students and their families apply, qualify, and compare student finance offers from South African banks and alternate finance providers – from a single platform and at zero to you. Student Hero is South Africa’s largest student finance facilitation service, an initiative aimed at helping students be their future selves sooner.
