Dear Shayna,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I understand how frustrating it can be when a technical error stands between you and an important application like the MultiChoice Bursary.
You would have to keep trying as the server is experiencing a lot of load.
Official Application Details
If you were trying to access the site to submit a new application, the portal often becomes unreachable or displays a “Closed” message once the deadline has passed. Here is the verified information for your records:
