The Emadlangeni Municipality Bursary program gives financial help to qualified, academically capable students like you who wish to further their studies.
The Emadlangeni Municipality Bursary program hopes to reduce the financial burdens on students within the municipality and encourage them to keep studying harder.
These bursaries are not limited to specific fields of study so they are able to help a larger variety of students.
However, the municipality gives more priority to applicants pursuing studies relevant to its needs, such as civil engineering, education, and healthcare.
The program has two distinct bursary opportunities:
- Mayoral Bursary: This bursary caters to financially needy students from any field of study at a tertiary level.
- Civil Engineering Bursary: This one is for Civil Engineering students. It offers a larger funding amount with a potential service obligation upon graduation.
