Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Baker Hughes only fund 2nd-year and above?

Baker Hughes targets students who have demonstrated they can succeed at university level. 1st-year students are not funded — you'll need alternative funding for your first year and can apply to Baker Hughes once you're in 2nd year.

Which fields does Baker Hughes fund?

Electrical, Mechanical and Mining Engineering plus Sales and Marketing — fields aligned with Baker Hughes' oilfield services and industrial operations.

What does the Baker Hughes bursary cover?

All expenses on your university fee statement — typically tuition, accommodation, and other registration-related costs for the entire remaining duration of your studies.

Can NSFAS students apply for Baker Hughes?

No — applicants cannot be receiving NSFAS or any other bursary funding. Baker Hughes specifically supports students who have a funding gap rather than supplementing existing aid.
