Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bursary run directly by Xylem the company?
It is funded by Xylem Inc but administered through the Xylem SA Trust, a dedicated bursary trust with its own site (xylemsatrust.org), rather than being run out of Xylem's ordinary South African sales or service operations.
Is the 2026 window still open?
No. The most recently verified closing date was 28 November 2025, well before 28 August 2026. No date for the next intake was available, so none is shown here - check xylemsatrust.org for updates.
Does it only fund Engineering students?
No. While Engineering fields with water applications are covered, the Trust also supports Environmental Science, Hydrology, Sustainability/Climate Change, and Agriculture and Food Security, provided the water-related link is clear.
Who do I contact for more information?
