For many South African families, paying for university or college can be a major challenge. School fees, textbooks, transport, and accommodation are expensive, and not every household can afford to cover these costs. That’s why Alfeco Holdings Bursaries 2026 offer an important opportunity for students who are passionate about building a better future but lack the financial resources to study further.
If you’re interested in a career in engineering, finance, or safety management and you’ve completed your Matric, this bursary could be your big break.
