Sasol invites applications for the Sasol South African Bursary Programme for South African Students for the 2023/24 academic session.
The Sasol Bursary programme comprises of a comprehensive package that covers both financial as well as developmental support throughout the study period. Bursaries are awarded for full-time university studies in engineering and science.
The Sasol Bursary Programme comprises:
- Undergraduate Bursaries – For candidates wishing to pursue bachelor’s degrees in Engineering or Science, this level includes honours degrees (in our context).
- The University of Technology Bursaries – For candidates wishing to pursue a B. Eng. Tech. degree in Mine Surveying at the University of Technology.
- Postgraduate Bursaries – For candidates who either are completing or have completed degrees and wish to pursue a Master’s or Doctorate study in Science or Chemical Engineering.
Worth of Award
Bursaries are awarded for standard degree courses over a minimum period of time (e.g. B.Sc. or B.Eng. Engineering for studies over a 4-year period).
Eligibility
- Students who apply for a 2nd/3rd/4th-year bursary must still be able to complete their program within a 4-year period.
- Therefore, students already on a so-called 5-year program or who intend to register for a 5-year study plan must not apply.
- Similarly, students must study full-time at a recognized and approved standard South African University.
- It is very important to note that bursaries will under no circumstances be awarded for studies towards a so-called dual/combined/hybrid degree course.
- Individuals should ensure that they provide accurate information and applications from non-South African citizens will not be considered.
