Editor's strategy corner
Engineering funders often place graduates where projects are. If you are willing to relocate or work at remote sites, say so clearly in your application, it is a real advantage.

Our assessment of this opportunity
Mondi Group is funding a scarce-skills field, which usually means a large applicant pool and marks-driven shortlisting. In our experience, applicants who submit early with a certified latest results statement and a clear career link to the funder's operations get further than those relying on the motivation letter alone.
Most company bursaries in South Africa come with a work-back obligation, typically one year of employment for each year funded. Before you accept, confirm the length of the obligation, where you may be placed and what happens if you fail a module, because repaying a bursary in full is a real risk for students who change course.
Mondi Group does not publish a fixed closing date, which often means applications open for a short window. Bookmark the official page and check it monthly so you do not miss the intake.
There is no public online form linked here, so applications may be by email or only when a call is announced. Never pay anyone to "fast-track" this application; legitimate funders do not charge fees.
