DESCRIPTION

Amazon Development Centre (South Africa) is starting a new bursary programme for South African citizens from designated groups (African, Coloureds, Indians, women and people with disabilities).

The purpose of the new bursary programme is to develop a talent pipeline for Amazon in South Africa. Successful applicants will be sponsored for 2018 until they complete their study programmes and will then be considered for a position in the Amazon graduate development programme in Cape Town.

For the purpose of finding suitable candidates and managing the bursaries, Amazon is teaming up with the national bursary organisation StudyTrust (studytrust.org.za).

StudyTrust, on behalf of Amazon, is inviting current first year and second year students in Computer Science and Information Technology degree programmes (including the relevant Engineering programmes) at South African universities to apply for the Amazon Development Centre bursary.

Successful candidates will already be funded for 2018 (refunds will be done for study-related costs paid for) and then, subject to satisfactory academic progress, for subsequent years until graduation.

This opportunity is for students of exceptional ability in the field of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and IT-related fields who see themselves in future as developers at one of the world's leading companies in the field.
Candidates who are consistently obtaining an average of 65% and above and who are willing to commit to work for Amazon in Cape Town for the number of years funded, are invited to apply.
