Bursaries

The Ntshole Foundation Bursary Program aims to support academically deserving students who do not have the finances or resources to pursue a degree at a South African public University. The program itself goes beyond just a monetary injection into the future of our beneficiaries. We pride ourselves in being rooted in the idea of a life-long fellowship between bursars and beneficiaries, where bursars have a personalised approach to exposing and empowering beneficiaries in their desired fields. To date, the foundation has awarded 15 bursaries to learners pursuing STEM Related degrees. The scheme comprises a comprehensive package that covers both financial as well as developmental support throughout the study period. Bursaries awarded are for full-time University studies. Upon successful completion of the study period, students will still continue to enjoy developmental support through our Alumni programs.
