ABB Education Trust Bursary for 2027

The ABB Education Trust offers bursary support for students in selected engineering disciplines. The 2027 opportunity advertised through the university bursary notice is intended for Black South African women who have completed at least their first year of study and are entering the next stage of an approved qualification in 2027. Black women students with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

The listed qualifications include Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering at degree or higher-diploma level. The published eligibility requirements include a minimum 60 percent average for the completed first year and a household income threshold below R600 000. Applicants should check the current notice for the exact qualification, institution, academic progression and supporting-document rules.

Applications for the 2027 opportunity opened on 2 November 2026 and close on 14 November 2026 at 16:00. The Trust is a distinct education trust programme; it should not be confused with the ABB Jürgen Dormann Foundation scholarship.
