About the Bursary
The eMedia Bursary Programme for 2026 is an initiative by eMedia, a prominent South African media company, aimed at supporting first-year students pursuing higher education in the television, radio, and broadcasting sectors. This bursary is designed to assist dedicated individuals who have demonstrated academic excellence but face financial challenges in completing their studies. By investing in aspiring media professionals, eMedia contributes to the growth and diversity of South Africa's broadcasting industry.

Who Should Apply
This bursary is specifically for first-year students registered at a South African university for a degree or diploma in Television, Radio, Broadcasting, or other media-related studies.

South African citizenship is a prerequisite.
Why This Bursary Stands Out
The eMedia Bursary Programme offers a valuable opportunity for students passionate about the broadcasting industry to receive financial support for their tuition. It provides a pathway into a dynamic sector, potentially leading to future career opportunities within eMedia or the broader media landscape. This bursary signifies eMedia's commitment to nurturing local talent and ensuring a pipeline of skilled professionals for the South African television and radio space.
