Scholarships
Saab Australia offers Engineering Scholarships which are designed to encourage and support those entering the engineering industry.
We currently offer three scholarship opportunities to help support students entering the engineering industry; Engineering Scholarship, Women in Engineering Scholarship and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Scholarship.
Sonia and Hannah are both Interns who received our Women in Engineering Scholarship in 2019 and were invited to participate in our annual Internship Program in 2020. This opportunity offers an exciting career pathway as they gain hands-on experience alongside industry leaders in high-technology solutions.
