About DBREV

DBREV stands for Doug Banks Renewable Energy Vision and is a fund formed to help advance the renewable energy sector in South Africa. Named after Dr. Doug Banks, the independent fund is financed by its sponsors, which include corporates and individual donors.

Dr. Banks was passionate about uplifting the lives of people from backward communities who lacked basic amenities. The vision fund also aims to achieve the same.

The money from the trust primarily goes towards facilitating access to education for backward communities. It awards scholarships to students interested in the field of renewable energy and energy access.

Doug Banks Renewable Energy Vision (DBREV) Scholarship 2022

The Doug Banks Renewable Energy Vision Scholarship or DBREV Scholarship is intended for postgraduate students who are in pursuit of a Masters degree. The degree should be in Renewable and Sustainable Energy.

The DVREV Scholarship is possible due to the donations from SANEDI RECORD (Renewable Energy Center of Research & Development).

The scholarship will cover the cost of education for two years. Students will also receive mentorship from industry leaders to build a career in the South African renewable energy sector.
