Those entering their final or post-graduate year of agricultural studies in 2025, may be eligible to apply for one of two fully funded bursaries by the Beefmaster Group, a leading supplier of world-class beef products.
Beefmaster is one of the largest privately-owned and family-run beef production companies in South Africa.
“As part of our human capital development strategy, we are offering bursaries to two students who are studying towards their final year or post-graduate studies in BSc Agriculture majoring in Agricultural Economics, BSc Agriculture majoring in Animal Science or B Agriculture with majoring in Animal Production,” says Cindy Nkgoeng, HR manager at Beefmaster.
“Our bursary programme provides financial assistance, but also opens the door for students to join a supportive and dynamic team committed to global excellence.”
Bursaries cover 100% of the recipient’s study costs, including tuition fees, textbooks, and accommodation, allowing students to focus on their studies without financial stress.
“We have been running this programme since 2023, with two students already benefiting and currently working for the company, as well as two new bursary recipients in 2024. For 2025, we will be sponsoring two additional students.”
To be eligible, students must be South African citizens, enrolled in the final year or honours-level postgraduate study with an outstanding academic record, and be pursuing studies in one of the listed disciplines above.
- To apply, submit a brief CV (including personal information); a half-page motivation on why you deserve the bursary; and certified copies of your South African ID, matric certificate, and full academic record.
- Email this to Karabo Gaanakgomo at karabo@beefmaster.co.za on or before 30 November.
- Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews and, if successful, will sign a bursary agreement with Beefmaster Group.
