Eskom Bursaries For TVET Colleges

Eskom Bursaries For TVET Colleges

Eskom was established in the year 1923 by the South African government as the country’s Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM). Our expanding industrial, commercial, and mining activities, as well as the increased need for existing infrastructure, have created an insatiable demand for skilled people, especially in fields of engineering, research, development, design, construction, and production functions.
Therefore, several Eskom scholarship programs are offered to help qualified students get a good education, which is essential for a brighter future.

The Eskom Scholarship was created to expand the skill pool in the country and empower young students to achieve their career aspirations. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted; if you do not receive a response within 28 days of scholarship closing, please consider your application unsuccessful.
