Murray & Roberts

Successful applicants enter into a bursary loan agreement with Murray & Roberts.

The benefits while studying full time include the following:

• The company pays to the institution concerned, an amount of money equal to the annual registration fees, costs of tuition & examination fees.
• The company pays for all prescribed books.
• The company pays for university provided (residential) accommodation and food or the student may receive an equivalent monthly allowance to assist with his/her living expenses and this must be utilised to cover accommodation, food and traveling expenses.

Bursaries are reviewed after each examination based on the student's academic performance and renewed annually. All bursaries are granted on merit but preference is given to black (Africans, Coloureds and Indian) applicants.

A Group Bursary Co-ordinator has been appointed to provide much needed support to our bursars. Our current graduate network is also available to the bursars for support.

After graduation, the student will be required to work one year for every year of studies paid for by the company (including any suspension period).

In-Service training periods are excluded from this period. The service obligation period will commence after successful completion of studies/after graduation.
