Two prestigious full bursaries valued at about R1 million have been awarded by Siemens–Energy to exceptional young scientists to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Engineering at the South African universities of their choice.

The comprehensive bursaries provided by Siemens–Energy cover a wide range of expenses, including tuition fees, textbooks, accommodation, meal allowances, and the provision of a laptop to support their academic journey. These bursaries reflect Siemens’ commitment to nurturing young talent in the fields of engineering and science, ultimately contributing to the development of future leaders and innovators.
