Frequently Asked Questions
Can Grade 12 learners apply for this bursary?
No. This particular Momentum/MMI bursary is aimed specifically at students who have already completed their first year of an actuarial science degree, not incoming first-year students.
What is the application deadline?
A specific public closing date for the 2027 cycle could not be independently verified at the time of writing (27 August 2026); listings reference an internal application code (MMH260513-2). Applicants should apply directly via the Momentum Group careers portal and confirm the current closing date there rather than relying on a fixed date here.
Is "MMI Holdings" still the correct company name?
MMI Holdings Limited officially changed its name to Momentum Metropolitan Holdings Limited in 2019. The bursary is marketed today under the Momentum Group brand. It is the same underlying organisation; the legal name has simply changed since the original listing was created.
