About Master Builders Association Bursary
Master Builders South Africa (MBSA) is the national representative body for the building and construction industry in South Africa. MBSA operates as a federation of independently-run regional Master Builders Associations, several of which fund their own bursary programmes to help address the shortage of critical skills in the construction sector.
This bursary supports students pursuing qualifications within the built environment, funded through the Master Builders Association structure.
Funding Details
Coverage varies by the specific regional fund administering an award, and has ranged from tuition-fees-only support up to broader cover of registration and study costs. Applicants should confirm the exact benefits with the administering association before applying.
Where You Can Study
Supports study within the Built Environment and construction industry, including apprenticeships, National Certificate qualifications, diplomas, degrees, or other related qualifications approved by the relevant bursary committee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Master Builders Association runs this specific bursary?
Master Builders South Africa (MBSA) is a national federation, but its bursary funds are administered by its independent regional associations (for example Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal), each with its own deadlines and regional preferences. This listing reflects the general national body link; applicants should confirm which regional fund and cycle currently applies before applying.
Is this the same as the Master Builders KwaZulu-Natal bursary?
No. Master Builders KwaZulu-Natal runs its own, separate bursary fund for KZN-based applicants, tracked as its own distinct listing. This node is not merged with that one.
Are 2026-cycle application dates available?
Regional Master Builders bursary funds have had 2026 deadlines in January (for example, mid-January for KwaZulu-Natal), which have already passed as at 28 August 2026. Because this listing is tied to the national body rather than one specific region, no single date is shown here - check with the relevant regional association directly.
Who should I contact?
Contact details are held at the regional-association level; Master Builders South Africa's national office can help direct enquiries to the correct regional association.
