High-value notes (read this first)
This is a field-specific bursary for students already aligned with WBHO’s construction pipeline. WBHO’s careers page states that bursary applicants should be enrolled at a recognised university and that incomplete applications will not be considered.
The 2027 bursary poster confirms that bursary interviews will be conducted at the University of the Free State during August 2026. Applicants should therefore submit early and make sure all contact details are correct, because shortlisted candidates may need to be available for the interview process.
