Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bursary open to all South African students?
No. It is specifically targeted at students from the Kgatelopele and Tsantsabane local municipalities in the Northern Cape, the communities hosting ACWA Power's Redstone CSP project.
Is the 2026 window still open?
No. The most recently verified closing date was 19 January 2026, which has already passed as at 28 August 2026. No date for the next intake was available, so none is shown here.
Is this the same as a general renewable energy bursary?
This bursary is specifically ACWA Power's community investment initiative connected to its Redstone CSP project, rather than a general company-wide bursary open to all applicants nationally.
