Exxaro Corporate Centre (The ConneXXion) is inviting students to apply for their Students Living with a Disability Bursary programme, for the 2027 academic year.

Bursary Application Guide. Getting help through Exxaro’s bursaries is possible if you’re a student managing a disability – one way they back real inclusion. Their support grows where fairness matters, opening paths not always available elsewhere.

Quick look at what this is about: Through its plan for fair chances, Exxaro gives special study funds to young people facing physical or mental challenges. This aid does not only cover money needs. It shows a stand – everyone deserves space to grow. Barriers that block entry into learning spaces? They must fall. Support arrives so disabled students can walk steady paths, feel welcome wherever they go, reach goals on their own terms.

One step at a time, strong grades matter most for those picked. Showing up in class comes next, followed by finishing assignments on schedule. Progress updates need to reach the office regularly instead of being delayed. Getting involved in events tied to the fund helps too. After school ends, if there’s a job commitment, it must be honoured without delay. Behaviour should stay respectful throughout every term. This chance welcomes learners across many fields of study. Growth means something real here, not just words on paper.

Eligibility Criteria for the Exxaro Bursary?

Meeting these basic conditions is necessary prior to submitting a request. Be aware, missing even one point means the submission gets set aside without review.

• South African citizenship is required to qualify. To participate, you need official nationality from that country. Only those born there or legally recognized hold the right status. Belonging to another nation disqualifies an applicant completely.
• Aged between 18 and 28 years.
• Right now taking part in a course that lasts at least three years, registered at a school recognized by the DHET. One step into studies, following national education standards. Not just any class load – locked into a full qualification path. Sitting with books and schedules under an approved higher learning setup. Moving through semesters with credit toward a credential. Learning within a system watched by South Africa’s training authority.
• Declared officially disabled according to rules added by the Employment Equity Amendment Act.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Failing to keep up could mean losing support. Staying on track means hitting the grade standard set by the bursary rules. Progress depends on meeting those marks each term. Falling short might lead to review or withdrawal. Consistency matters just as much as the score itself.
• Showing up for class matters. What follows is doing the work – every task, every test, each project done without skipping steps. Staying involved keeps progress steady. Finishing what you start builds real understanding.
• Each term, hand in your school records to the bursary team. Updates must include grades or official transcripts. These go straight to their office every few months. Waiting until the last minute is not a good idea. The paperwork needs to arrive on time, without delay. Late submissions might slow things down. Keeping them informed helps everything run smoothly.
• Get involved in scholarship activities: Join funding opportunities provided through your school or employer when available.
• Act with care. Show others what the company stands for through your actions.
• Start here if your path leads to Exxaro – finish what you begin. Should roles open up post-graduation, step into them without delay. When tied by agreement, meet each duty on time. Internship? That counts too. If it applies, do it. Stay clear, stay honest, follow through. What was promised gets done. Period.
• Should your studies shift, tell the Exxaro bursary team without delay. If you switch institutions, they need to know right away. A change in personal life? Share it early. Updates matter – pass them on quickly.
