Bakwena Bursary 2026: A Chance to Keep Studying
Bakwena, the company that builds and maintains roads on the N1 and N4 routes, has opened a special scholarship program for students who already passed their first year of university. If you’re a South African student, live close to the Bakwena roads, and are looking for a way to pay for your tuition, this bursary could be just what you need.
Why This Scholarship Matters
College expenses can be a huge hurdle. Many students who do well in their first year can’t finish because the money runs out in the second or third year. Bakwena wants to help students who have shown they can keep going by giving them a boost to finish their degree. The scholarship is especially helpful for people who plan to work in fields that support the communities around the N1 and N4 roads.
Who Can Apply?
To qualify for the Bakwena Bursary 2026 you need to meet a few simple rules:
- You must be a South African citizen.
- You must be registered at a South African university.
- You must be in your second year or higher during the 2026 academic year.
- It helps if you live within 6 kilometers of the Bakwena N1 or N4 route.
- Your overall university average must be at least 60 %.
- You must finish the application form and send all the required documents.
Only people who follow all these conditions will be considered.
What You’ll Need to Send
When you send in your application, include the following clear, certified copies:
- A motivation letter that explains why you need the bursary and what you hope to achieve in the future.
- Your first‑year university results.
- A copy of your South African ID document.
- Proof that shows where you live (a utility bill or something similar).
Missing any of these items may lead to your application being rejected.
