Frequently Asked Questions

Who funds the Barloworld Education Trust Bursary?

It is funded by the Barloworld Education Foundation Trust (Education Trust), part of Barloworld Limited's corporate citizenship programme, and is administered through Barloworld Equipment southern Africa. It currently supports learners in engineering, IT and finance as a feeder into the group's Young Talent Pipeline.

Which fields of study are funded?

The bursary focuses on funded disciplines including engineering (industrial, mechanical and mining), IT and computer science (BSc), and finance, with some sources also listing marketing and sales. Only students in a funded field of study at a recognised South African public university or university of technology qualify.

Who is eligible to apply?

Applicants must be South African citizens, Black students (African, Coloured, Indian or Chinese) from a previously disadvantaged background, who have completed Matric, are studying full-time in a funded field, have passed all their mid-year exams, and can demonstrate financial need.

When is the application deadline?

Aggregator sites indicate applications close around 31 July each year, but this is not confirmed on Barloworld's official domain, and the official Young Talent Scholarship page has shown applications closed. Always verify the current open and close dates through official Barloworld channels before applying.
