What does a bursary include?

The Sasol bursary is a comprehensive bursary which includes the following:

100% of the prescribed University of Technology tuition fees, registration fees and exam fees.

An amount equal to the average rate for accommodation in a single room at a University of Technology residence at which the Sasol bursar is studying. This rate is determined by Sasol in conjunction with the university.

An amount for meals based on three meals per day, as determined by the University of Technology.

An amount of approximately R12 000,00 per annum, towards book and pocket money.

Please note:

Prescribed tuition fees, registration fees and exam fees are paid directly to the University of Yechnology.

Students will be required to pay for any repeat subjects.

Fees for accommodation are paid directly to the University of Technology if the student is staying in university-administered accommodation.

In cases where the student elects to stay in non-university administered accommodation, monies in lieu of accommodation and meals will be paid directly to the individual. In such instances, the amounts will be limited to that prescribed in point 3 above.

Book and pocket money will be paid directly to the individual.

Payments in respect of the above are made twice a year. The first payment is made at the beginning of the first semester, and the second payment is made at the beginning of the second semester.

Full details of the payment process and the requirements which must be met are communicated to successful applicants once a bursary has been awarded.

Successful applicants will be bound contractually to work at Sasol after graduation for a period equal to the tenure of the bursary.
