Magalies Water External Bursary Scheme for 2027

Magalies Water awards full-time external bursaries annually according to its critical skills requirements. Its published 2027 opportunity included Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering, together with water-care, chemistry, biotechnology, microbiology and information and communication technology fields. The 2027 notice targeted eligible South African students aged 18 to 35 and included academic and institutional requirements.

The official career-guidance page describes the external bursary as covering tuition fees, an accommodation allowance and a book allowance. The exact fields, academic thresholds, applicant age and documents must be checked against the year-specific notice and application form. Students may study at a South African university that offers the relevant qualification.

The 2027 opportunity was advertised with a closing date of 23 October 2026. Applications for this intake have closed. The official Magalies Water website remains the best place to monitor future calls.
