The Hexagon Trust Bursary Program 2024

The Hexagon Trust offers bursaries for students whose interests are in the fields of Engineering, Commerce, and Science. These bursaries go to deserving students based on their financial need, academic performance, commitment to their studies, and their determination to develop their skills and reach their full potential.

The bursary covers the following expenses:

  • Tuition fees

  • Registration fees

  • Textbook allowance.

The applicants who will make the final cut as a requirement will go through an interview first. Once the bursary candidates have finished their courses, they must render service to the community.

About The Hexagon Trust

The Hexagon Trust has been operating in South Africa for over 30 years. So far, it has awarded more than 1,500 bursaries to deserving students. The NGO aims to provide students with the financial assistance they need to achieve their full academic potential. Economically disadvantaged students are given preference as their upliftment is the trust’s priority.

The fields of study for which the Hexagon Trust allocates bursaries are science, engineering and commerce. There are critical skills shortages in these fields in South Africa and the country needs graduates to make the country’s economy sustainable. Beyond giving bursaries, the trust also monitors and supports students during their tertiary studies.
