Mpumalanga Premier’s Office Opens 2025 Bursary Applications
The Office of the Premier of Mpumalanga has officially opened applications for its 2025 Premier’s Discretionary Bursary Fund, aimed at assisting young people from the province who wish to further their studies at recognised tertiary institutions within South Africa.
The bursary fund targets learners currently in matric, those who have already completed matric, as well as students who are already enrolled at accredited institutions of higher learning but lack the financial means to continue their studies.
