The post Hernic Ferrochrome Bursary Programme 2014 (Closes Friday, 26 July 2013) appeared first on The Bursary Bin.

A limited number of bursaries are awarded each year to selected candidates to study for a bachelor’s degree at a South African university OR a national diploma at a South African Technikon (University of Technology). The intention of the scheme is to provide the Gold Fields Limited Group with high-calibre graduates who wish to make their career in one of its companies.

Bursary requirements:

Study fields

A number of study fields relevant Gold Fields’ operational areas will be considered for the bursary. All fields listed below will be considered for undergraduate and underdiplomate qualifications only; except for the Geology field which will be considered ONLY for Honours degree studies.

SELECTION PROCEDURE

(1)   Application forms are sent out between February and May of each year.  Forms will be sent to those applicants intending to study or already studying in a field related to the Group’s projected manpower requirements (see above). 

             The closing date for applications is 30 June. Late applications will not be considered.

(2)   Shortlisted candidates will be contacted in June and will be required to undergo psychometric testing as well as a panel interview.  In addition, all candidates are required to undergo a medical examination, and be in possession of a valid Medical Certificate of Fitness for the appropriate category of work for the duration of their bursary and subsequent employment with GFL or its nominee. 

(3)   After completion of the selection process, bursary awards are determined at the discretion of GFL Mining Services Limited. All awards are subject to the applicant gaining acceptance, or gaining promotion to the year of study applied for, for the course at the university and for the commencement year stipulated in their bursary agreement.  Selected candidates will be notified in writing.

      (5) Selected candidates will be required to sign a bursary agreement in acceptance of the award.

      (6) The Bursar will be required to provide surety for the agreement.

BURSARY OBLIGATIONS

The Bursar undertakes to work for GFL or its nominee for a year for each year (or part thereof) of studies

for which GFL has made bursary payments, e.g. a 3-year bursary gives rise a 3-year obligation to serve

GFL or its nominee.

BURSARS MAY NOT ACCEPT OTHER BURSARIES

Bursars receiving financial study assistance from another source must disclose this fact immediately on applying for a GFL bursary.  The company’s approval of such assistance is required prior to the award of a bursary (and approval is entirely at the company’s discretion).  This condition does not prevent a Bursar from receiving assistance from parents or relatives out of purely private means.
