Bursary description
The EXXARO Bursary Program helps young South Africans go to college. They pay for everything, like tuition, housing, food, and even a laptop. After graduating, you get more training to become a leader at the company.
They also give you extra support, take you to their facilities, introduce you to experienced leaders, and let you work at one of their sites. If you do really well, you can win awards. Everyone gets to attend special events too.
