We acknowledge that our employees, present and potential, have aspirations but perhaps not the means to be formerly educated in their fields of interest. To this end, we have created the Harmony Bursary Scheme which awards successful applicants bursaries for full-time study at Accredited tertiary institutions. The scheme covers tuition and residence fees, the cost of prescribed text books, and also provides a personal allowance.
The scheme contributes to the development of historically disadvantaged South Africans and covers tuition and residence fees, as well as prescribed textbooks and a personal allowance. Preference is given to the following fields, which are functional to the mining industry.
Mining Engineering: Mining is an underground or open cast process whereby minerals are extracted by means of explosives.
Metallurgy (extractive only): Metallurgy is the study of the economical recovery of precious metals and minerals. (Exploring by use of all the disciplines and techniques.)
