Cederberg Local Municipality, which covers Clanwilliam, Citrusdal, Lamberts Bay and the surrounding West Coast farming towns, funds local students through finance qualifications. The bursary is narrow by design: the municipality needs accountants and financial managers, and bursars usually spend a year working in its finance department after graduating.
