List of all Bursaries Open All Year Round
Companies and various organisations that offer bursaries do so for a number of reasons. One of them is to create a pool of qualified and skilled individuals they can alway pick their employees from. This helps bursars when they complete their studies because they do not have to go out and look for a job.
