Etion Create is inviting qualifying South African university students to apply for the Etion Create Bursary Programme for the 2027 academic year. The company is offering two bursaries to high-performing engineering students who are already progressing through their university studies in selected technology-focused engineering fields. This bursary is designed to reduce the financial burden of higher education while supporting the development of future electronics and computer engineering professionals. Successful students will also gain practical workplace exposure through compulsory vacation work during 2027. If you are a South African student who has completed your second or third year of BEng Electronics or BEng Computer Engineering, this opportunity may be worth applying for before the closing date.
