The Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality in Limpopo is offering a full‑scholarship program for 2026. If you live in the municipality, do well in school, and need money to go to university, this bursary could cover everything you need. Think of it as a job‑ready boost that helps you study a field that will also support the future growth of the area.

- Accounting

- Economics
- Environmental Science

- Mining Engineering

What Does the Bursary Pay For?
If you’re accepted, you’ll get total financial support for:
- Registration fees
- Tuition
- Textbooks and other study materials
- Accommodation (where you’ll live while you study)
- Meals
That means you can focus on learning without worrying about money. It’s one of the most complete bursaries the municipality offers.
How Are Applicants Picked?
The committee looks at two main things:
- Academic performance – Your results from matric or your most recent school year must be strong.
- Financial need – The program is aimed at students from families that can’t afford to pay for university.
If you’re shortlisted, someone will call you. If you don’t hear back, it usually means your application wasn’t successful.
