ECST Bursary for Women in Engineering

• 35% Bursary (2 awards): Year 1 R31,500.00; Year 2 R29,750.00; Year 3 R26,250.00; total R87,500.00 over the 3-year programme.
• The bursary applies to the Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Electrical Engineering for the duration of the programme.
• Continued eligibility requires passing all modules each year; it is not automatically guaranteed from one year to the next.
• Deferring or withdrawing from the programme forfeits the bursary, as does a breach of ECST's code of conduct.
• The bursary is not redeemable for cash, is not transferable, and cannot be reinstated once forfeited.

Applications close 4 weeks before the start of the relevant Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Electrical Engineering intake. The programme's next published intake begins 23 February 2027.

1. Confirm you meet ECST's admission requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Electrical Engineering (see eligibility).
2. Complete the Future Student Bursary Application Form online.
3. Submit the required supporting documents with the form.
4. Apply at least 4 weeks before the start of the intake, since that is the closing date.

• Certified copy of the sponsor's or guardian's ID.
• Sponsor's or guardian's most recent 3 months' payslips and bank statements.

Applicants must meet both the bursary's own eligibility criteria (citizenship, population group, age, household income and demonstrated financial need) and ECST's admission requirements for the Electrical Engineering programme (minimum Mathematics, Science, Home Language and digital literacy marks). Financial need is checked against the submitted proof of income and bank statements.
