Act now – the South African Geomatics Council (SAGC) bursary for 2027 closes on 31 October 2026. If you want financial help to study geomatics‑related subjects, this is the moment to secure it.

What the SAGC Bursary 2027 Is

The SAGC Bursary provides full tuition coverage for South African students who enroll in approved geomatics, surveying, GIS, geoinformatics, mine surveying or geospatial science programmes at recognised South African institutions. Successful applicants also receive mentorship from industry professionals.

• Studying at a SAGC‑accredited university or technikon (list below)
• Strong academic record
• Demonstrated financial need
• Willing to read and agree to the bursary terms (see Section 7 of the application form)

Approved Institutions and Qualifications

Before you apply, double‑check that your chosen programme appears in the table. If you plan to study at Wits, confirm eligibility with SAGC as the institution list is ambiguous.

What You Will Receive

• Full payment of tuition fees for the approved qualification
