About this bursary
The VKB Group Bursary supports students pursuing undergraduate qualifications in commerce, risk management, and agricultural economics. VKB is an established South African agricultural business operating across the food and farming supply chain. Funding helps students complete their tertiary degrees while gaining exposure to the agricultural corporate environment.
This programme targets high-achieving undergraduate students who are currently in their first year or have completed their first year of study. VKB aims to build skills within the agriculture and commerce sectors by providing financial aid alongside practical work experience.
Recipients must complete compulsory vacation work during university holidays at a VKB regional head office. After graduating, recipients must also be prepared to relocate for potential employment obligations or work-back commitments.
Obligation
Recipients must complete vacation work during university holidays and remain available for post-graduation service contract obligations.
