About Foskor Bursary
The Foskor Bursary supports South African students who study mining, engineering and finance at university. Foskor is the mining and minerals company that runs the scheme. It has not announced a call for 2027, so this page explains who qualifies and how to ask about the next round.
The company's bursary page, checked on 6 November 2026, describes the scheme but states no opening or closing date. That means you should contact Foskor before you plan an application.
Funding Details
Foskor says that it offers a comprehensive package, but the page does not list what is covered. So ask the company what tuition, books, accommodation or allowances it pays before you rely on the award.
The page does not mention a work-back period. If you receive an offer, ask whether Foskor expects you to work for the company after you graduate, and read the contract before you sign.
Because Foskor has not published the award details, treat any amounts you see on other websites as unconfirmed. Ask the company in writing what the package covers, how long it lasts and what happens if your marks drop. Keep its reply with your other papers so that you can compare it with the contract.
Where You Can Study
You must be a full-time undergraduate at a recognised South African university. Foskor does not name particular campuses on its page, and the list above refers to bachelor's degrees. Ask the company if you plan a diploma or a part-time study route.

Fields of Study & Who Can Apply
You can apply if you are a South African citizen and you study full time at a recognised South African university. Foskor looks for students who passed matric with Mathematics and Physical Science or Accounting, or with other relevant major subjects, at 60%. Strong results in those subjects matter more than anything else on the list.
The company funds degrees that suit its operations. Students in other fields can also be considered through its Social and Labour Plan committee.
- Mechanical engineering
- Instrumentation
- Electrical engineering
- Metallurgy
- Mining engineering
- Chemical engineering
- Geology
- Finance
- Law
Foskor works in mining and mineral processing, so it hires engineers, geologists and finance staff. If you study one of the listed degrees, your marks in Mathematics and Physical Science carry the most weight. Keep your matric results and your latest university results together, because the company may ask for both when it opens a call.
Application Procedure
Read the Foskor bursary page and use the contact form on the company's website. The company has not published a bursary email address or phone number on that page.
