Agar-Hamilton Trust Bursary South Africa

ABOUT THE COMPANY – AGAR-HAMILTON TRUST

The Agar-Hamilton Trust was established in terms of the Will of the late John Augustus Ion Agar-Hamilton. The aim of the trust is to award bursaries to assist academically deserving students in need, in order that they may afford to pursue their studies at school, college, university or another educational institution within South Africa.

Mr Agar-Hamilton, who passed away in 1984, was an Anglican priest and South African historian.

ABOUT THE BURSARY PROGRAMME

The Agar-Hamilton Trust offers a bursary award each year to male students who are under 25 years old, are English-speaking with a predominantly British descent and are members of the church belonging to the Anglican Communion. Students who are in school, college or university may apply if they have a strong academic record and are unable to afford their studies.

Bursaries are awarded 1 year at a time and are renewable annually based on satisfactory academic performance.

The value of the bursary will be decided by the Trustees, on a case by case basis.
