About TotalEnergies Bursary
The TotalEnergies Bursary supports South African students who study engineering, finance, law, social sciences and other professions that the company needs. TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa offers it to previously disadvantaged young people.
The company's page gives no opening or closing date, and we found no 2027 call when we checked on 8 November 2026. Look for the next round on the company's careers page.
Funding Details
According to the company, the bursary covers tuition fees, including books and special equipment. It also covers accommodation fees, stipends and limited private tutorials.
That is a broad package. The tutorials and the stipend can make a real difference to a student who must move away from home to study.
The page does not mention a work-back period or the rand value of the stipend. Ask the company for these details in writing, and read your bursary agreement closely before you sign it.
Energy companies value students who understand safety, because fuel is a hazardous product. If you can describe a time when you followed a safety rule or helped a team to work safely, include it in your motivation. Also show that you follow industry news, such as changes in fuel supply or the move to cleaner energy, because that shows genuine interest.
Where You Can Study
You must study at a university or a university of technology in South Africa, or hold an acceptance letter from one. The page does not name particular institutions, so you may apply from any recognised public institution.
Private colleges and short courses are not mentioned on the page, so ask the company before you assume that they qualify.
