VKB Group is a diversified agricultural business based in the Free State, with operations spanning grain trading, agricultural retail, milling, and food processing across South Africa. As one of the country's larger agricultural cooperatives-turned-companies, VKB plays a significant role in the rural economies of the Free State and neighbouring provinces.
VKB funds bursaries across a deliberately broad spread of fields - Accounting, Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Agricultural Economics, and International Trade and Marketing - reflecting how many different kinds of skills a large agribusiness actually needs, well beyond farming itself. Because VKB operates in both English and Afrikaans-speaking rural communities, the bursary specifically requires fluency in both languages.
Successful applicants complete vacation work at one of VKB's regional head offices, giving them direct exposure to how a large agricultural business actually runs before they graduate.
