- Electrical or Mechanical Engineering: two shared places.

What should you know before preparing your documents?
Which study fields could match your qualification?
The paired disciplines share an allocation. Two places for Electrical/Mechanical Engineering do not mean two for each discipline. Make the exact name of your qualification easy to find in your CV and email.
If you are comparing engineering bursaries in South Africa, check the supported qualification before spending time collecting documents. A similar course name does not automatically establish eligibility.
Which academic requirements fit your study stage?
If you are currently in Grade 12
- Mathematics: 60% or higher.
- Physical Science: 60% or higher.
- Language: 60% or higher.
- School results: Grade 11 or Grade 12 mid-year results.
Final National Senior Certificate results remain part of the funding decision. For example, a learner with 65% in Maths, 62% in Science and 55% in Language would miss the stated Language threshold for current learners.
If you want Human Resources funding and your school subjects differ from the current-learner requirements, ask Northam how that category is assessed. Do not assume the non-technical route automatically waives the separate school-learner conditions.
If you have completed Matric for a technical field
- Grade 12 qualification.
- At least 60% in Mathematics.
- At least 60% in Physical Science.
- At least 50% in Language.
If you are pursuing the non-technical route
- Grade 12 qualification.
- Language at 60% or higher.
- Human Resources is the listed non-technical field.
If you are already a tertiary student
- A minimum 60% aggregate in your major subjects.
- An academic record showing the relevant results.
- Proof of registration or acceptance, as applicable.
Use your institution’s academic record to identify your major-subject results. Do not assume that an overall average across every module answers the major-subject requirement.
What documents should you organise first?
- An updated, comprehensive CV.
- A certified ID copy.
- Certified qualification certificates and relevant results.
- School results suited to your learner category.
- A full academic record if already studying.
- Proof of tertiary acceptance or registration.
Confirm with Northam whether your CV needs a community stamp. If a stamp is required, establish which local office can assist before the deadline.
Open every scan before attaching it. Check that your name, marks and certification details are readable. Give files clear names, such as “Surname_Academic_Record.pdf”, so you can identify each attachment easily.
How should you send your bursary email?
- Match your field and results. Check the relevant category above and identify any point that needs clarification.
- Assemble the supporting documents. Include your CV, certified records and acceptance or registration evidence where relevant.
- Address the email to [email protected]. Check the spelling before sending.
- Identify the bursary and reference in the subject. Use: BURSARIES (REF: BDHR26/26).
- Review and send before 3 November 2026. Confirm that the attachments open and retain a copy of the sent email.
A short message can state your intended field and whether you are in Matric or already studying. Keep the details consistent with your CV and academic record.
What should you clarify before budgeting for your studies?
Confirm the funded academic year and the actual expense coverage. The 2027 cycle description should not replace written confirmation from Northam. A detailed bursary value is not provided.
Ask which costs are covered, how payments work and whether any renewal or post-study obligations form part of the agreement. Keep a list of your expected study costs so you can compare the offer with your own budget.
Only shortlisted candidates will receive feedback. If you hear nothing within 21 days after the closing date, regard the outcome as unsuccessful.
What else might you need to know about these bursaries?
Can you send your details before final Matric results are released?
Yes. Current learners can use the stated school-result route, but the funding decision remains subject to final NSC results. Continue working towards the required marks.
Does your university acceptance guarantee bursary selection?
No. Acceptance evidence and bursary selection serve different purposes. Keep your study-place arrangements moving while you wait for a funding outcome.
Do the Booysendal mining bursaries include Human Resources?
Yes. One place is allocated to Human Resources. Check the non-technical requirement alongside the conditions relevant to your current study stage.
Can you assume accommodation and every study expense will be paid?
No. Obtain the written funding terms before committing to costs. Ask about anything missing from the agreement rather than treating an unspecified expense as covered.
Actionable Next Steps
Check your Language mark and study category first. Then prepare the supporting records, confirm any community-stamp requirement and use BDHR26/26 in your email subject.
Send your complete documents before 3 November 2026. Keep the sent email and continue planning both your study place and your funding options.
