About Enel Bursary
The Enel Bursary is funded by Enel Green Power RSA and administered by StudyTrust, a national bursary management organisation, in partnership with Dalitso Holdings. It supports South African students from communities near Enel's wind and solar energy projects who want to study further but face financial barriers to doing so.
Unlike many corporate bursaries that target a specific field such as engineering, the Enel Bursary is open to students pursuing any field of study at a South African TVET college, university of technology, or university. Selection is based on a combination of academic performance and demonstrated financial need.
This bursary is unrelated to Denel Dynamics, a separate South African state-owned defence and aerospace company - the two organisations simply have similar-sounding names.
Funding Details
- Tuition, registration, and examination fees
- Accommodation in institution residence, or the cost equivalent

- Learning materials, including textbooks and stationery
Where You Can Study
