About Hulamin Bursary
The Hulamin Bursary supports South African students from Pietermaritzburg and the surrounding area who study engineering, accounting or selected science degrees. Hulamin is an aluminium rolling and extrusion company, and it offers the bursary for first degrees only.
Hulamin's page did not give a closing date when we checked on 8 November 2026. It does say that successful candidates hear by the end of October each year.
Funding Details
Hulamin tailors the bursary to each student. It typically includes registration fees, tuition fees, accommodation and meal fees, book fees and an annual cash allowance. The page also mentions a notepad computer.
The page does not give the rand value of the cash allowance or the number of bursaries. It states one condition, which is that bursars must work at Hulamin during at least one vacation period each year.
That vacation work gives you a look at the plant and may help you secure a job later. Ask Hulamin whether the bursary carries any other service condition.
Prepare early, because Hulamin notifies only successful candidates by the end of October. Gather your latest results, check that your ID copies are clear, and ask a teacher or lecturer to help you write a short motivation. Pietermaritzburg students may also ask the school careers office whether the company visits local schools, since that can give you a head start.
Where You Can Study
Hulamin accepts applications for university degrees only. Its page refers to an approved university, so ask the Learning and Development office which universities it accepts for each field before you apply.
Colleges and short courses do not qualify under this bursary. If you want a practical route, ask Hulamin about its other training programmes.

Fields of Study & Who Can Apply
You qualify if you are a South African citizen from a previously disadvantaged background and you live in Pietermaritzburg or the surrounding area. The bursary is for students who plan to study for a first degree, so it does not suit someone who already holds one.
