Tiso Foundation Undergraduate Bursary

    Company description

    South Africa is rich with talent and potential, but because of funding constraints and few opportunities, so much of this potential is never fully realised to the detriment of the socio-economic development of our country.

    Through its Undergraduate Bursary Programme in partnership with various South African Universities, the Tiso Foundation seeks to identify deserving previously disadvantaged candidates who have demonstrated talent and determination in their previous academic lives. The Foundation nurtures and empowers participants to achieve their academic potential, and go on to a meaningful career that will have a lasting impact on their careers, communities and the country.

    Scholarships are awarded to underprivileged youth from marginalised communities who meet the selection criteria.
