There are Unisa bursaries available to Masters by dissertation and Doctoral students after completion of the proposal module. These bursaries are available for both South African and foreign students.

LaTeX templates for Unisa students
Download the various files below.
The file Proposal.zip contains LaTeX files which make up a document that conforms to the Unisa requirements for a proposal document and uses a apa-like referencing/citation style. This layout would probably be acceptable (and is tailorable) for other institutions as well.
The FINALTHESISORDISSERTATION.ZIP contains the LaTeX files to prepare a thesis that conforms to the Unisa requirements. Again these files can probably be tailored for use at other institutions as well.
