Application Deadline : 29 February 2012
Sasol Bursary Scheme is a talent based scheme, as a
result, only applicants who meet the minimum criteria will be invited to
a selection interview. It is a comprehensive package that covers both
financial as well as developmental support throughout the study
period. All applications are done electronically, not only to speed up
the selection process but also to ensure fairness and electronic
tracking of applications received within a particular period. For more
information on how to qualify please read further.
Consequently, we give preference to those candidates with an exceptional academic
record who also participate in extra curricular activities. Due
consideration is also given to those individuals from disadvantaged
backgrounds who meet our minimum requirements. Applications for a Sasol
bursary close on 29 February 2012. We prefer to receive all applications online via our online application process found at this site.
This speeds up the process and ensures comprehensive
electronic tracking of all applications. We receive, on average, 5000
applications each year. These applications are screened by our
recruitment office and results in between 300 and 400 individuals being
invited to attend an interview. Of these, only 80 to 100 will be awarded
a Sasol bursary.
The number of bursaries awarded each year is
dependent on the business need. Consequently, failure to secure a Sasol
bursary is not necessarily due to poor performance on the part of the
applicant but may be a reflection of insufficient business demand. Sasol
is a petrochemical company and hence the majority of bursaries awarded
are in the engineering, science and commerce fields listed under fields
of study.
