Bursaries
Sponsoring a bursary in your name – or that of a loved one – is one of the most personal gifts you can make, with the option of meeting the beneficiary student and following his or her progress through to graduation.


Each year, about 4 000 students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds apply to us for financial aid. We are committed to giving those with real talent and the potential to succeed access to tertiary education – but we can't do it without support from people like you.

DonateBeing awarded a bursary touches a young person's life profoundly, both financially and psychologically.

Not only will they never forget your kindness, successful students impact on the South African economy by contributing high level skills - and become role models and an inspiration for future generations.

“I am truly grateful to the Johannessons and Wiklunds as I am not sure of how I would have reached this point of where I am today without their support.” remarked Daniel Glasser, 3rd year BSc Engineering student.
