Toyota South Africa Motors (administered by StudyTrust), South Africa

Scholarship overview

The Toyota South Africa Motors Bursary is a recruitment bursary fund established by Toyota South Africa Motors and administered by StudyTrust, the educational trust that runs the application process on Toyota's behalf. It supports emerging talent who show commitment and strong academic results, with the aim of bridging tertiary education and the world of work.

Toyota's stated goal is not only to contribute financially but to give successful candidates workplace experience through vacation work and potential exposure to its graduate programme, as part of its wider effort to shape the future of mobility in Africa. The bursary funds full-time study in a defined set of Commerce, Engineering and Science degrees.

As with other StudyTrust-administered bursaries, applicants submit a single online application that is also checked against every other StudyTrust-managed bursary they qualify for.
