Emang Mmogo Mining Resources Bursary Requirements and Online Application

Emang Mmogo Mining Resources (EMMR) is a Northern Cape-based manganese and iron ore mining company committed to uplifting its host community through skills development and education.

The bursary program is one of the ways the company invests in its local youth, helping them access tertiary education and build career pathways.

The bursary is offered by Emang Mmogo Mining Resources as part of its corporate social investment and community-development efforts. 

It is aimed at eligible learners or students residing in the company’s local community (the Tsantsabane Community area in the Northern Cape) and helps them with financial support for tertiary study.

For example, for the 2023 cycle, bursaries were awarded up to R20 000.

Which fields of study are eligible?

The key point about this bursary is that it is not restricted to a specific field of study (at least in recent rounds). 

Applicants may apply for studies in any field of study at a recognised tertiary institution in South Africa.

However, applicants must meet other criteria tied to residence, academic achievement, and financial need.

Emang Mmogo Mining Resources Bursary Eligibility Requirements

For the 2026 application period, prospective applicants should expect to satisfy criteria similar to those of previous rounds. 

These include:

1. Be a South African citizen.
2. Reside within the Tsantsabane Community (Northern Cape Province).
3. Have completed Matric (Grade 12) or are about to register for tertiary study (or already registered).
4. Be studying or intending to study full-time at a recognised and accredited tertiary institution in South Africa.
5. Be from a previously disadvantaged background and demonstrate financial need.
6. Show strong academic ability (based on past Matric results or tertiary record) as part of the selection process.

What does the bursary cover?

While details are not always exhaustive, past rounds indicate the bursary covers:

1. A fixed monetary award (for example, R20 000 in the 2023 cycle) is allocated to successful applicants.
2. The funds are intended to support study expenses such as registration, tuition, or study materials—but exact use may vary year by year.
   Because the available value and coverage may change for 2026, applicants should review the official announcement for that year.
