What the Kropz Bursary Covers
The Kropz Elandsfontein Bursary Programme is aimed at students who want to study subjects that the mining business needs. If you choose one of the fields below, you can get financial help to pay for your studies:
- Accounting
- Chemical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Environmental Science
- Geology
- Health and Safety Management
- Mechanical Engineering
- Metallurgical Engineering
- Mining
These subjects match the work Kropz does at its Elandsfontein mine, so graduates will be ready for real jobs right after finishing school. If you receive the bursary, you will sign an agreement with Kropz and must keep good grades while you study. Only students who make it to the shortlist will hear back from Kropz; if you do not get a reply, your application was not successful.
