Department of Agriculture External Bursary Awards for 2027

The national Department of Agriculture publishes external bursary awards for students pursuing selected full-time tertiary qualifications in agriculture and related fields. The department’s vacancies page lists a 2027 Bursary Awards advert and a full-time undergraduate application form, confirming a 2027 funding cycle.

The 2027 programme was reported as supporting selected agriculture, veterinary, food-science and related fields. Published information about the 2027 call described support for tuition, accommodation, study materials, meals and a monthly allowance, subject to the approved bursary terms. Applicants must use the exact qualification list in the official advert and form because the programme does not necessarily fund every course that is broadly related to agriculture.

The 2027 application deadline was reported as 30 September 2026 at 16:00. The Department’s official website remains the source for its current bursary advert and application form. This record is included as a closed 2027 opportunity and should not be treated as open for late applications.
