About Zutari Engineering Bursary Programme
Zutari's Engineering Bursary Programme funds full academic costs and holistic support for South African students studying Civil or Electrical Engineering. The pan-African engineering and infrastructure consultancy created the programme to build a pipeline of engineers passionate about using their skills to make a difference, alongside its vacation work, work-integrated learning, internship, and graduate programmes.
