The Knight Piésold Bursary program is a prestigious bursary that aims to support diligent students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are pursuing undergraduate degrees in Civil Engineering.
About the Knight Piésold Bursary
Knight Piésold is a globally renowned consulting engineering firm. It established this bursary program to invest in future generations of civil engineers in South Africa.
They aim to empower talented students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds by providing financial support throughout their undergraduate studies.
The bursary covers tuition fees, registration fees, prescribed books, and even provides accommodation assistance.
Beyond financial support, the Knight Piésold bursary program offers a unique benefit: the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience through vacation work placements at Knight Piésold itself.
