Valterra Platinum Bursary Programme

• Tuition fees.
• Accommodation, in private housing or a university residence.
• Meals or a living allowance.
• Prescribed textbooks.
• A laptop, for qualifying students.

Bursars must complete mandatory vacation work at Valterra operations during university holidays, and carry a work-back obligation equal to the length of their bursary funding after graduating.

Bursary applications open annually around mid-year; exact dates are announced on Valterra Platinum's official careers site and social media channels rather than fixed in advance. Individual bursary vacancies posted on the SmartRecruiters portal each carry their own closing date and close once filled.

1. Confirm that the discipline and year of study are funded in the current intake via Valterra Platinum's careers site or social media pages.
2. Apply online through the Valterra Platinum young talent page and its linked SmartRecruiters careers portal; only online applications are accepted.
3. Upload supporting documents, including identity document, academic transcripts, proof of residence and, for bursary applicants, proof of registration.

• Identity document.
• Academic transcripts.
• Proof of residence.
• Proof of registration (for bursary applicants).

Applicants are assessed on academic performance (65% and above average) and fit with the funded fields and years of study for the intake. Preference goes to learners from provinces where Valterra operates.
