The Harmony Gold Bursary Scheme awards successful applicants bursaries for full-time study at accredited tertiary institutions. The scheme covers tuition and residence fees, the cost of prescribed text books, and also provides a personal allowance. Applications close 31 May 2013.

Harmony Gold acknowledges that their employees, present and potential, have aspirations but perhaps not the means to be formerly educated in their fields of interest. To this end, it has created the Harmony Gold Bursary Scheme.

The scheme is designed to contribute to the development of historically disadvantaged South Africans.

Preference is given to the following fields, which are functional to the mining industry:

• Finance
• Geology
• Human resources
• Mechanical and electrical engineering
• Metallurgy
• Mining engineering.
