Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mediclinic and ER24 bursary the same programme?

Yes. ER24 is a subsidiary of Mediclinic, so this is a single joint Mediclinic / ER24 bursary. It is separate from the Netcare and Life Healthcare bursaries, which are run by different hospital groups.

Which qualifications does the bursary fund?

The bursary supports approved qualifications in Nursing, Pharmacy and Emergency Medical Care (including paramedic / emergency medical services pathways) at recognised, accredited South African tertiary institutions.

When do applications open and close?

Applications typically open around early May and close on 31 July each year, with funded studies starting the following January. The 2027 cycle had not been officially published as of mid-2026, but the programme runs on this window annually, so check the Mediclinic careers portal from around May.

Will I have to work for Mediclinic or ER24 after graduating?

Yes. Recipients sign a contract that includes a work-back obligation equal to the length of the funded programme, which also serves as an employment pipeline into the Mediclinic / ER24 group.

How do I apply?

Applications are submitted online through the Mediclinic SuccessFactors careers portal at careers.mediclinic.com. Search for the current bursary listing, as the specific job reference changes each year. There is no third-party administrator.
