About the Hillary Construction Bursary
The Hillary Construction Bursary is designed to assist academically deserving students who might not otherwise have the financial means to pursue tertiary education in civil engineering, quantity surveying, or surveying.
The bursary covers a significant portion of a student’s academic expenses, including:
- Annual registration fees
- Tuition fees
- Examination fees
- Monthly stipend for accommodation, food, and travel
- Study-related equipment (subject to request)
In addition to the financial support, successful candidates are offered a unique opportunity.
