About Aurora Wind Power Bursary
The Aurora Wind Power Bursary is funded by Aurora Wind Power, a renewable energy project on the West Coast of the Western Cape, for residents studying any 3-4 year degree programme.

Funding Details
The bursary supports study-related costs for a 3-4 year degree programme, awarded on the basis of both academic performance and financial need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bursary cover any degree?
Yes, any 3-4 year degree programme qualifies - there is no field restriction.
What matters more for selection, academics or need?
Both together - selection weighs Grade 12 results and financial need as combined factors, not either one in isolation.
Do I need to already live on the West Coast?
Yes, residency on the West Coast is a core requirement.
Is there a work-back requirement?
No, the bursary is structured as community reinvestment rather than a recruitment pipeline.
