FinX BEE Bursary Requirements, Application and Closing Dates

The FinX BEE Bursary is offered by FinX BEE, a company focused on B-BBEE solutions and skills development in South Africa. 

The programme supports students from specified geographic areas who are studying in either engineering or business-related fields. 

While the 2026 cycle is documented, information for the 2026 application period is limited and appears not publicly updated so applicants should confirm directly with FinX BEE.

Eligibility requirements for the FinX BEE Bursary

1. Must be a South African citizen.
2. Must be a black person as defined by the B-BBEE Codes (that is, an African, Coloured or Indian/Asian person) for the 2026 cycle.
3. Must reside in one of the designated areas: Kathu (Northern Cape), Rustenburg (North West), or Mogalakwena (Limpopo).
4. Must have completed Matric and intend to register (or already be registered) for an undergraduate qualification in one of the approved fields.
5. Must not be receiving NSFAS funding (for the 2026 cycle).
6. Preferred fields include engineering disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical & Control, Metallurgical, Mining, Chemical, Industrial, Production & Operations Management) and business studies (Accounting, Computer Science, Finance, Human Resources, Management).
7. Strong academic merit required; for returning students partial completion may be considered.

Application process for the FinX BEE Bursary

1. Applicants are required to complete the FinX BEE application form (for example the 2026 form) and submit it with supporting documents.
2. Required documents include: certified copy of ID, certified Matric certificate or proof of results, certified academic transcripts (if current student), CV/resume, proof of disability (if applicable), POPIA consent, and financial statement from the university with banking details.
3. The completed application form and supporting documentation must be emailed to: admin@finx.co.za (for the 2026 cycle) with subject line “FinX BEE Bursary [year]”.
4. Shortlisted candidates are notified. There appears to be no service-contract or obligation documented for past cycles.

Closing date for the FinX BEE Bursary

For the 2026 academic year the closing date was 29 February 2026.

At the time of writing there is no published closing date for the 2026 cycle.

Status of the FinX BEE Bursary

The bursary is awarded on a once-off basis for one academic year only for past cycles and does not guarantee renewal.

Given that the last publicly documented application cycle was for 2026, and no updated 2026 details are available on the official FinX BEE website as of now, students should treat the opportunity cautiously and verify directly whether FinX BEE will run a 2026 round. 

If no new cycle is confirmed by mid-2026 it may indicate the bursary is currently paused or discontinued.
