Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bursary open to all South African students?
No. This is an important point: Idwala's Community Bursary Programme is specifically targeted at students who live in or near Danielskuil in the Northern Cape, reflecting the location of the company's Idwala Lime operations. Students outside this area are unlikely to qualify, based on the company's own published criteria.
Is this the same company as "Idwala Industries Holdings Limited"?
The company's name, per its own website, is Idwala Industrial Holdings (Pty) Ltd, trading through divisions such as Idwala Lime, Idwala Carbonates and Idwala Magnetite. Some third-party bursary listings render the name slightly differently (e.g. "Idwala Industries Holdings Limited"), which appears to be the source of the variant title used on this listing.
When does this bursary open again?
The most recently confirmed cycle closed on 13 February 2026. As of this listing's last verification date (27 August 2026), a new intake had not yet been announced; interested students should monitor Idwala's official website or contact the company directly.
How do I apply?
In the most recent cycle, applications were submitted by email with "Idwala Bursary" and the relevant year in the subject line, along with a completed application form and supporting documents. Contact details can change between cycles, so applicants should confirm the current process via Idwala's official website.
