Fleet Horizon Solutions (FHS)

About Fleet Horizon Solutions

Fleet Horizon Solutions (FHS) is a fleet management company based in Pretoria. The business is black-owned and managed, and it holds a Level 1 B-BBEE status. FHS provides operating leases, maintenance leases, telematics and fleet consulting. Its clients run commercial and passenger vehicles across South Africa, and they rely on FHS to keep those vehicles safe, legal and on the road.

Fleet management is a technical field. It combines mechanics, electronics, data and logistics. For that reason, a company like FHS needs people with practical and professional skills in several areas. The FHS bursary exists to help build that talent from the ground up.

How FHS supports students

The FHS bursary funds study in four fields. These are diesel mechanics, electrical engineering (light current), fleet management and transport management. All four match the services the company sells to its clients. As a result, a funded student is studying the very skills that the industry needs.

The award can cover full or partial tuition, prescribed textbooks and study materials. Where it applies, it may also include accommodation and a living allowance. Practical costs like these often decide whether a talented student can stay in a course. Funding them removes a real barrier, especially for students from households with limited income.

The programme also speaks to transformation in the sector. Black South Africans have historically held few senior roles in fleet and transport management. By supporting new graduates and trade-qualified students, FHS adds to a more representative pool of professionals.

What to know before applying

Applicants should be South African citizens or permanent residents. You can be in matric or already have your certificate. You must study, or plan to study, one of the four listed fields at an accredited institution. Recent adverts have also asked for a minimum average of around 60%, proven financial need, and evidence of community involvement or leadership. Check the current notice, because these details can change.

A typical application includes a certified ID copy, certified academic records, proof of registration or acceptance, proof of household income and a short motivational letter. Applications go directly to the company, either through a job portal or to the FHS human resources team. The company lists a Pretoria head office, and its website carries current contact details.

Students can strengthen an application by showing practical interest in the field. For example, a short motivational letter that explains why you want to work with vehicles, data or transport networks can stand out. The company has asked for a letter of around 500 words, so keep it clear and personal.

Funding for trade and technical courses is rarer than funding for degrees. This makes the FHS bursary useful for students who prefer a hands-on career. Diesel mechanics and electrical work remain in demand across the transport sector, and skilled people can find steady work.

Public information does not describe a binding work-back period for FHS bursars. However, the terms may vary by year. Read the bursary agreement carefully before you sign, and ask the company directly if anything is unclear.
