A group of students will be able to end the year knowing that all their study costs have been paid off. The group of 23 are beneficiaries of a bursary programme that will also see some of them gain experience through internship opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur bursary programme supports students in the engineering, accounting, sales and marketing fields of study with tuition. Undergraduate and postgraduate students at any of the country\u2019s 26 public universities were invited to apply for this year\u2019s round of bursaries. Furthermore, the programme will be focused in assisting South Africa in building the skills required to transition South Africa into a green economy that is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive,\u201d said Simo-Sihle Mvinjelwa, country leader for transformation at Baker Hughes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution to the country\u2019s economic and employment problems is about more than just throwing money at the problem, he adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of the students we selected will also receive practical experience by doing internship work with us, to help them become more attractive and better prepared prospective employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCorporates have a duty to invest in skills development initiatives, as they have the power to help change the alarming unemployment statistics in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth year of the Baker Hughes Bursary Programme and sees around R1.4 million being allocated to 23 students from across the country. Their full study fees will be covered, including accommodation fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme is administered by student crowd-funding organisation, Feenix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSouth Africa is blessed with an abundance of talented young people who want to build and grow our country. Each day in our work, we see the negative impact that a lack of financial stability can have on the success of a student, which is why we are grateful for partners like Baker Hughes, who invest in bursary and internship programmes. Feenix is able to tap into our strong university networks to help find the most suitable student candidates for this bursary programme,\u201d said Leana de Beer, CEO of Feenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSouth Africa\u2019s economic prosperity is directly tied to the education of its youth and their ability to create and partake in a mobilised economy. Unemployment rates, massive socioeconomic divides and economic stagnation indicate that while the South African education system is demographically non-discriminatory, it is still not equitably accessible. We hope this bursary programme helps make education more accessible,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme has to date benefited 83 students with funding to the tune of R4.8 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the beneficiaries of the 2021 group, is Zizipho Mntumni. The 25-year-old mechanical engineering student comes from Dutywa in the Eastern Cape, and is studying at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town. She is currently in her second year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a first-generation student, I had the desire and the determination, but lacked the financial backing needed to achieve my goal of becoming a mechanical engineer,\u201d she explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis bursary meant that I was finally getting the help I\u2019ve always wanted in order to pursue both my academic and career dreams as the first in my family. Knowing that I had no student debt gave me a relief, and I was motivated to fully focus on my studies and pass all my modules.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has been allocated R92 566 to pay her accommodation and tuition bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have never won anything either small or big; I\u2019ve never received a call back on a job interview so receiving the news that I was selected and I was going to get funded was not just exciting it was exhilarating and hard to believe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor that feeling in that moment, I am forever grateful,\u201d says Mntumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another beneficiary is Nontathu Mtshawuli (25), who this year finished her final year of electrical engineering studies at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. She hails from KwaBacha (formerly known as Mount Frere). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mtshawuli says the R64 759 she was allocated will be put towards her tuition fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt means I won\u2019t be financially excluded by the institution. At first I felt so special but now I am just happy and appreciate that my tuition is paid,\u201d she adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also among the list of beneficiaries announced at the event, is electrical engineering student Xolile Sibiya. The 25-year-old was in her final year at Durban University of Technology this year and hails from Jozini, in northern KwaZulu-Natal. She said the bursary she received would help pay off her academic fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 23 recipients of the Baker Hughes Bursary and Internship Programme were announced during a virtual event on Friday, November 26. Applications for the 2022 round will open towards the end of January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
