HHO Consulting Engineers is a South African infrastructure consultancy with offices in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and East London. It designs roads, bridges, traffic systems, water infrastructure and geotechnical works, and has funded civil engineering students through a bursary aimed at students already partway through their degrees.

About the HHO Bursary

The bursary covered registration fees, tuition fees and a book allowance of R2 000 per semester for full-time civil engineering students. Accommodation and travel were not covered unless there were special circumstances. Awards were made for one year and could be renewed on academic performance at the company’s discretion, and bursars were considered for vacation work and graduate positions at HHO.

HHO Bursary eligibility requirements

• South African citizen from a previously disadvantaged background.
• Completed Matric.
• A full-time undergraduate civil engineering student (BSc, BEng or National Diploma) in second or third year at an accredited South African institution.
• Strong academic performance.
• Not receiving any other bursary or funding.
• Female applicants were given preference.

HHO Bursary application process

There was no application form. Applicants emailed a certified copy of their ID and their most recent academic results, on the institution’s letterhead, to yolanda@hho.co.za with the subject line “HHO Bursary Application”. Shortlisted students were interviewed at the nearest HHO office.

HHO Bursary closing date

The last confirmed closing date was 31 July 2023. No 2027 closing date has been published. If HHO advertises again, expect a mid-year closing date.
