The Municipal Council has increased the bursary budget to more than R4.8 million for the financial year 2025-2026. Over R2 million is available for financial assistance to new intakes for the 2026 academic year.  The MLM is currently providing financial assistance to 24 students pursuing their studies at various universities around the country.

The bursary covers 100% of the following study expenses: Registration fees, tuition fees, study materials, accommodation and meals. 

Prospective students and stakeholders can obtain application forms from the following municipal service locations: Municipal Head Office, Jane Furse Library, Eensaam Library, Phokwane Library, Ga-Phaahla Library, education circuit offices within Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality, and the municipal website.
