Sasol Bursary Programme 2023 for South African youth

Application forms are now available for Sasol Bursary Programme 2023 for South African youth undergraduate and postgraduate students. We must ensure continuous availability of skills in order to sustain our growth due to the scarcity of talent in South Africa and globally.

We are able to reach our strategic and transformation talent objectives by offering the Sasol Bursary programmes to South African youth.

Sasol Bursary Programme 2023 for South African youth

Sasol Bursaries cover both financial and developmental support throughout the study period as part of its comprehensive package. A bursary is awarded to students studying engineering or science full-time at a university.

Our Graduate Development Programmes provide students with the opportunity to gain employment within the Sasol Group after completing their study period.

There are three fields of study in which you can apply for degrees (no diplomas):

Undergraduate Studies (B.Eng. / B.Sc.)

Chemical Engineering
Chemistry (Hons. is a requirement for Sasol)
Civil Engineering
Data Science (Computer Science / Mathematics / Operations Research / Statistics)
Electrical Engineering
Electronic Engineering
Geology (Hons. is a requirement for Sasol)
Industrial Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Metallurgy (Hons. is a requirement for Sasol)
Mining Engineering

Undergraduate Studies (B. Eng. Tech.) – University of Technology

Mine Surveying

Postgraduate (M.Sc. / M.Eng. / PhD.)

For our own needs in terms of highly skilled postgraduates in science and engineering disciplines as well as to support economic growth in South Africa.

Important information to all applicants:

Please note that:

Standard degree courses are eligible for bursaries after completing a minimum number of years (e.g. B.Sc. or B.Eng. for a 4-year study period).
A student already enrolled in a 5-year study program or planning to do so cannot apply. You may still apply, but if we realize at a later date that you are already registered for five years or plan to do so – the bursary will be withdrawn/terminated immediately.
If a student applies for a bursary in their second, third, or fourth year, they must still follow the same rules. The study period would be extended by one year if you have failed modules, did not register some modules, or cancelled some modules. It is still important to fulfill all requirements for the applicable degree course within a standard and minimum timeframe – such as 4 years for a B.Eng./B.Sc. Applied Science degree.
An approved standard South African university must be recognised and accredited for full-time study. Note: Students are not permitted to register at so-called distance-learning facilities or institutions such as UNISA.
There will be no bursaries awarded for studies towards dual/combination/hybrid degree courses (e.g. Chemistry with Chemical Engineering, Mechatronics with Environmental Science, geology with Environmental Science, etc.)
It is possible for Sasol to rescind or terminate the invitation for the further selection process, the bursary offer, or the bursary with immediate effect if incorrect information is provided during the application process. This could be a result of intentional/unintentional fraud.
Students must understand that if the information provided during the application process differs from the information provided during the interview or any later date, the application/bursary will not be considered valid.
