    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why October 2026 Is Important for 2027 Bursary Applicants</h2>

    <!-- /wp:heading -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>Many bursaries for the <strong>2027 academic year</strong> are advertised months before the new academic year begins. As a result, students who wait until January 2027 to start searching may discover that some of the strongest funding opportunities have already closed.</p>

    <!-- /wp:paragraph -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>October is therefore an important point in the 2027 bursary application cycle. Students should not only search for bursaries closing during October but should also look ahead for opportunities with November and December deadlines.</p>

    <!-- /wp:paragraph -->


    <!-- wp:heading -->

    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bursaries Closing in October 2026: Current Status</h2>

    <!-- /wp:heading -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>At the time of the latest verification, the October deadline directory includes opportunities closing between <strong>3 October and 31 October 2026</strong>. The dates are not all identical, and some programmes have specific eligibility restrictions.</p>

    <!-- /wp:paragraph -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>For example, the Northern Cape Premier's Bursary Programme currently lists a <strong>31 October 2026</strong> closing date and states that no late applications will be considered. The programme is aimed at eligible unemployed youth from the Northern Cape pursuing a first qualification. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}</p>

    <!-- /wp:paragraph -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>The current October directory published by ZA Bursaries lists 12 principal bursary opportunities, including WFSA, PSSA, Tiso Foundation, AGSA, Etion Create, KPMG, Martin &amp; East, SAAFoST, ISFAP Undergraduate, ISFAP Postgraduate, SASMT and SAIV. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}</p>

    <!-- /wp:paragraph -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>Additional October opportunities can also appear on university funding boards and other bursary directories. For example, current funding information identifies the Stellenbosch University Postgraduate Scholarship Programme as having a <strong>31 October 2026</strong> deadline for its 2027 cycle. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}</p>

    <!-- /wp:paragraph -->


    <!-- wp:heading -->

    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">October Bursaries vs Bursaries Closing in September</h2>

    <!-- /wp:heading -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>If you are still preparing applications, do not focus exclusively on October. Some major 2027 bursaries close before October begins. For example, current university funding information lists CSIR, FirstRand, Department of Agriculture and Amazon among opportunities with September deadlines. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}</p>

    <!-- /wp:paragraph -->


    <!-- wp:paragraph -->

    <p>This means that your bursary search should operate as a rolling process: apply for September opportunities while preparing applications for October and later deadlines.</p>

    CONCOR BURSARIES SOUTH AFRICA 2025

    1:30:00 PM

    WHO IS CONCOR?


    Following its acquisition, effective 1 April 2017, by a consortium led by the Southern Palace Group (Southern Palace), which includes the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), Murray & Roberts Construction was renamed and rebranded as Concor.

    Southern Palace is a wholly black-owned South African diversified industrial holding company with interests in numerous well-established businesses. Southern Palace is the new majority shareholder in Concor, followed by the Government Employees Pension Fund, represented by the PIC which now owns 25% of Concor.

    Hulamin Bursary South Africa 2023

    8:42:00 AM

    Hulamin Bursary Programme 2023

    The origin of Hulamin dates back to 1935 when Aluminium Limited of Canada (Alcan) opened a sales office in South Africa. This was followed in 1940 by the registration of the Aluminium Company of South Africa. During and after World War II, demand for semi-fabricated aluminium had grown to the point where a first aluminium rolling mill was opened in 1949, on the current Pietermaritzburg site.

    The company was listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange as Alcan Aluminium of South Africa in 1969. In 1974, the Huletts Corporation acquired a controlling interest from Alcan, and changed the company name to Huletts Aluminium. The company was delisted in 1981 and, after the Huletts Corporation merged with The Tongaat Group to form Tongaat Hulett, the name of the company was changed to Hulett Aluminium (Pty) Limited. Alcan subsequently sold its remaining holding and Hulett Aluminium became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tongaat Hulett in 1986. 

    Following the expansion of production capacity and capability, Hulamin expanded its product range and sales reach into more than 65 countries around the world.

    In 2006, Hulett Aluminium’s shareholders approved a further R950 million investment project for the Rolled Products business and this expansion was completed in 2009. In 2007, the company was unbundled from Tongaat Hulett and changed its name to Hulamin Limited, listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, whilst facilitating the acquisition of a 10% interest in Hulamin by Black Economic Empowerment partners.
