About Wenosa Scholarship
The Women's Empowerment Network of South Africa (WENOSA) Scholarship Programme supports final-year female South African students, with Engineering listed among its priority fields. WENOSA's broader mission focuses on developing women into leadership roles across South African industry, and the scholarship is one part of that wider effort.
Unlike many corporate or government bursaries, WENOSA's scholarship isn't tied to a single employer or industry - it's designed to fund exceptional final-year women regardless of where they'll eventually work, reflecting the organisation's focus on building female leadership across the economy rather than for itself.
Funding Details
Scholarships are worth R50,000 per student, which can be used toward tuition fees and study materials for your final year.
Where You Can Study
You need to be registered at a recognised South African public university. WENOSA doesn't fund students at private institutions through this scholarship.
