About the organisation
The Xylem SA Trust is a development trust committed to “Solving Water” by creating opportunities to support and develop innovative and smart technology solutions to meet the world’s water, wastewater and energy needs.
Why Xylem Trust Exist?
The Xylem SA Trust was formed to act independently, guided by trustees and local stakeholders, advancing water security, investing in youth, and building the capacity of communities to thrive.
South Africa has no shortage of potential. What it needs is scaffolding—foundations for young learners, bridges into higher education, and pathways into practical, skilled work. That’s where they contribute: offering the kind of support that unlocks what’s already there.
The XYLEM SA TRUST Bursary Programme endeavours to support the development of underserved South African citizens through financial assistance for Higher Education studies in water-related fields.
Applicant criteria:
- Black South African citizens
- Valid South African identity document
- 35 years of age or younger
- Accepted for, or registered to study at a recognised South African tertiary institution for 2026
- Must not be receiving any other bursaries, including NSFAS
Qualifying fields of study:
The Xylem SA Trust will consider applications for studies in technical fields that are water-related and where a clear and direct link to the enhancement of water quality, water technology and/or water infrastructure can be demonstrated.
