Bursary Description

About the Bursary

Mulilo is offering bursary opportunities for the 2027 academic year to support ambitious and deserving students from local communities in the Northern Cape. As a leading renewable energy developer in South Africa, Mulilo is dedicated to socio-economic development, youth empowerment, and unlocking educational pathways for host communities.

This bursary programme enables students originating from the Emthanjeni, Renosterberg, and Siyathemba local municipalities to access accredited higher education and vocational trade training across any academic discipline, contributing to sustainable local skills development.

What the Bursary Covers

  • Full tuition fees

  • Textbook allowance

  • On-campus or accredited student accommodation

  • Monthly living stipend

  • Wrap-around student support including psycho-social support and academic tutoring

Who Should Apply

The bursary is open to South African citizens residing permanently within the Emthanjeni, Renosterberg, or Siyathemba municipalities in the Northern Cape. Both current Grade 12 learners and students already enrolled at accredited tertiary or trade institutions are eligible to apply.

Applicants must demonstrate academic potential and commitment, with plans to pursue full-time studies in any accredited field at a South African university, university of technology, or trade college.

Why This Bursary Stands Out

The Mulilo Bursary Programme goes beyond typical financial aid by offering comprehensive wrap-around care. With integrated psycho-social assistance and academic tutoring, Mulilo ensures that recipients receive the mentoring and personal backing required to excel academically and transition successfully into their careers.

By directly targeting youth from rural renewable energy development corridors, the programme provides an invaluable bridge to tertiary education and long-term socio-economic mobility.

How to Apply

Eligible candidates must complete their application online through the official Mulilo application portal. Ensure you upload all mandatory supporting documentation, including certified copies of your ID, academic transcripts, proof of residential address, household income confirmation, fee statements, and the required municipal residency affidavit.
