Requirements of the Engen Bursary in 2013

Bursaries will be awarded ONLY to students who will be either in their first year or second year in university. Bursaries will be awarded high achievers (academically), who are South African citizens. For those students who are already in university, high performance is required – a minimum of 65% average achievement in your current subjects (Advice from the Bursary Bin: Those who aim average get average opportunities, aim for 100% you may just get 95% and who know what that may do to your chances of getting this bursary). The Engen bursary programme is open to South Africans of all economic backgrounds, but preference will be given to those from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
