Johannesburg, South Africa - Sasol, the employer of choice in the chemical and energy sector (as voted for by graduates in the SAGEA employer of choice survey) has announced that applications for its corporate bursary programme are now open for the 2023 academic year.

High-performing mathematics and science learners currently in Grade 12 are invited to apply for an all-inclusive bursary to study engineering, science and accounting degrees at approved public universities and universities of technology.

Sasol's bursary programme, which has run for more than three decades, covers bursars' tuition fees, accommodation, meals, textbooks and pocket money. Bursars receive allowances for study tools such as laptops and calculators. The bursary will also provide psycho-social and academic support, to enable learners to successfully complete their academic studies.

Sasol bursars also have the opportunity to do paid vacation work and to be part of the Graduate Development Programme when they complete their studies.

Education is one of the key pillars in Sasol's social investment strategy, with an emphasis on helping to develop a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills base for future and giving talented, ambitious people from all backgrounds opportunities to succeed.

In 2021, the programme had 243 bursars, and this year, Sasol is providing 166 bursaries, which cover, for the first time, Data Science degrees.

Sasol is looking for learners who want to study towards a B Eng or BSc Eng in various engineering disciplines, BSc in Chemistry and Accounting (CA route) or learners interested in studying Instrumentation, Mining Survey and Mechanical or Electrical Engineering at a university of technology.

Applicants need to obtain 70% for Maths, 70% for Science and 60% for English to be considered. Candidates who are either completing or have completed a degree and wishing to pursue a Master or Doctorate study in science or chemical engineering are also eligible to apply.

"At Sasol, education and skills development is one of our key social investment areas and we are committed to supporting learners' tertiary education and giving them a platform to launch a successful career and future in STEM. This year we are also particularly excited to welcome applicants in the Green Hydrogen space," said Monica Luwes, Manager of Graduate Centre at Sasol Corporate Bursary Services.

"It is essential for Sasol to invest in today's talent for a prosperous tomorrow, and we're excited to help bright young South Africans the opportunity to harness their potential and shape a high-performing, world-class workforce. Your future is our future with Sasol bursaries".

Sasol may, in this document, make certain statements that are not historical facts that relate to analyses and other information which are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding exchange rate fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market share, total shareholder return, executing our growth projects (including LCCP), oil and gas reserves and cost reductions, including in connection with our BPEP, RP and our business performance outlook. Words such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour", "target", "forecast" and "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. You should understand that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors are discussed more fully in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed on 28 August 2018 and in other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The list of factors discussed therein is not exhaustive; when relying on forward-looking statements to make investment decisions, you should carefully consider both these factors and other uncertainties and events. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
