What we achieved
▪ The Sasol Foundation invests in tertiary education
to help individuals build the skills that will enable
them to participate in the economy, contribute
to social development and allow them to be
responsible self-reliant citizens.
▪ We also support institutions with research
and capacity building for innovation, economic
growth and social advancement.
133 undergraduate
students were funded
in 2022.
▪ The Sasol Foundation Tertiary Education portfolio
has a mandate to provide support in the following
strategic areas:
Undergraduate Bursaries;
Postgraduate Scholarships and
Research Support; and
Student Wraparound Support.
51 undergraduate
students completed
degrees and graduated.
The postgraduate
programme supported
a total of 58 students,
which include 12 Honours,
20 Masters and 26
Doctoral students.
A total of 105
publications were
produced by HDIs during
the 2022 academic year.
A total of 42 postgraduates
completed degrees and
graduated, which include 10
Honours, 20 Masters, and 12
Doctoral students.
The lack of access to tertiary education undermines the broader economic development and social
stability. Our bursary and scholarship programmes underscore the importance of social justice, equality,
diversity and inclusion with a mandate to recruit and support youth pursuing undergraduate studies
at all 26 public universities, as well as postgraduate students undertaking Honours, Masters
and Doctoral studies at five Historically Disadvantaged Universities, namely the University
of Venda, University of Limpopo, University of Fort Hare, University of Free State (QwaQwa campus),
and North-West University (Mahikeng campus).
