MQA Bursaries 2027 Offer Study Funding for Mining and Minerals Employees
The Mining Qualifications Authority is accepting applications from people currently employed in the mining and minerals sector for its 2027 employed-bursar funding window. Applications close on 19 November 2026; late submissions will not be considered.
Who this opportunity is for
This call is specifically for employed applicants. MQA’s bursary scheme supports study connected with mining and minerals careers through universities, universities of technology and TVET colleges. Applicants should check the current form for their qualification and institution requirements.
The published notice does not establish a universal award amount or promise full-cost funding for every applicant.
Use the correct application route
Start from the official MQA bursaries page and select its employed-bursar application link, which leads to the SIMS application system. The portal requires JavaScript.
MQA also advertises a separate unemployed-student funding process. That route invites public institutions to apply on behalf of students; it is not interchangeable with this individual employed-applicant call.
After applying
Communication is limited to successful applicants. MQA says that if no communication has arrived by 15 December 2026, the application should be treated as unsuccessful. Keep a copy of your submission and monitor the contact details supplied.
Reign Gigs does not award MQA funding or receive applications.
