Learners in Joburg’s northern suburbs and other parts of the country who excel in maths and science subjects have been urged to apply for Sasol’s corporate bursary programme which has now opened for the 2023 academic year.
Sasol, one of the largest employers in the chemical and energy sector, said high-performing mathematics and science learners currently in Grade 12 are invited to apply for an all-inclusive bursary to study engineering and science degrees at approved South African universities.
The bursary programme, which has run for more than three decades, covers tuition fees, accommodation, meals, textbooks and pocket money. Bursars also receive allowances for study tools such as laptops and calculators. Psycho-social support will also be provided to enable learners to successfully complete their academic studies.
Sasol bursars also have the opportunity to do paid vacation work and to be part of the Sasol Development Programmes when they complete their studies.
Sasol is looking for learners who want to study towards a B Engineering or BSc Engineering in various engineering disciplines, and BSc in Chemistry or learners interested in mining survey at a university of technology.
According to Monica Luwes, manager of the Graduate Centre at Sasol Corporate Bursary Services, applicants need to obtain 70% for maths, 70% for science and 60% for English to be considered for an undergraduate bursary. Candidates who are either completing or have completed a degree and wish to pursue a Master’s or Doctorate study in science or chemical engineering are also eligible to apply for a postgraduate bursary.
