Manitou Group invites suitable applicants to apply for their 2026 Bursary Vacancies. The closing date for applications is 31 October 2025.
What the Manitou Group Bursaries 2026 Are All About
Manitou Group is a big name in trucks, cranes and machines that help move heavy stuff. In 2026 they will give out bursaries (money help) to students in South Africa who want to study accounting or engineering. If you need money for your school fees, this bursary could cover all of it.
The Goal of the Bursary
The bursary is meant to give South African students an easier path to university.
- It helps people who are good at school but do not have enough money.
- The money only pays for tuition, which is the fee you pay to take classes.
- The bursary does not pay for books, travel, lodgings, or other living costs.
Who Can Apply?
To get the bursary you must meet all of these simple checks:
| Check | What it means |
|---|---|
| Citizen | Be a South African citizen. |
| Field of Study | Currently studying or planning to study accounting or engineering. |
| School | Be accepted or already registered at a recognised South African university or university of technology. |
| Grades | Have a strong academic record – good grades in school. |
| Need | Show you really need the money – show proof of your financial situation. |
If you meet these, you’re ready to apply.
The Subjects Covered
The bursary specifically looks at:
- Accounting – learning to manage money, records, and taxes.
- Engineering – any branch that uses maths and design, like civil, mechanical, electrical, or production engineering.
These subjects help build expertise that Manitou Group and other big companies need in South Africa.
Exactly What the Money Covers
The bursary pays only tuition. It does not cover:
- Past year fees that are still unpaid.
- Books or study supplies.
- Transport between home and campus.
- Accommodation or meals.
- Personal living costs.
The aim is to keep the money on your education, so you can focus on learning.
