About Siemens Bursary
The Siemens Engineering and Technology Stream Bursary funds academically strong South African students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds studying towards Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electronics, or Computer Science/IT qualifications. Siemens runs separate application streams for current university students and for Matric learners about to start their first year, both administered through the same bursary programme.
The bursary is a full-cost award covering tuition, prescribed study materials, and - for students who need to relocate - accommodation and transport, and recipients are expected to complete vacation work at Siemens during their studies.
Applicants must not be receiving funding from any other source, including NSFAS, while holding a Siemens bursary.
Funding Details
Full tuition fees, prescribed textbooks and study materials, and accommodation and transport costs for students who need to relocate to study. Recipients complete vacation work with Siemens as part of the programme.
Where You Can Study
Not tied to a specific university - open to students studying the eligible engineering and technology fields at any recognised South African university or university of technology.
