ASSET (Association for Educational Transformation) Bursary South Africa

ABOUT THE COMPANY – ASSET

The Association for Educational Transformation (ASSET), a non-profit organisation situated in the Western Cape was founded in January 2003. The organisation previously operated under the wing of the SAIRR (South African Institute of Race Relations), with a longstanding history of assisting disadvantaged students with their educational needs.

As a way of giving back to the disadvantaged community, ASSET has a bursary programme to allow students to pursue their studies who lack the funds to pay for their tuition. Funding is received from not only local and national donors but also international donors.

ABOUT THE ASSET BURSARY PROGRAMME – FIELDS COVERED | COVERAGE VALUE

ASSET is inviting students from the Western Cape to apply for their bursary programme, for the 2023 academic year..

Bursaries are awarded each year, for studies towards a first Undergraduate qualification (degree, diploma or higher certificate) in ANY field of study, within the Western Cape.

ASSET Bursaries are awarded from the ASSET Educational Trust (AET), as well as from other individuals, trusts and organisations who wish to support tertiary students in the Western Cape. These bursaries aim to provide financial assistance to Western Cape students who are deserving in terms of merit and need.

otagouni.com is committed to keeping you up to date with the latest bursary opportunities, and this article covers all details about the ASSET Bursary.

MORE ABOUT THE ASSET BURSARY PROGRAMME – COVERAGE, RENEWAL | SERVICE CONTRACT

The partial bursary will provide cover for a portion of registration fees, tuition fees and books – the amount is variable and will be paid directly to the institution. Students are encouraged to apply for other loans or bursaries to cover the balance of their fees.

Bursaries will support students for the entire duration of their undergraduate studies, on the condition that they maintain good grades. Students must reapply for funding each year.

ASSET bursaries are not repayable, but bursary recipients should join the ASSET Alumni Association, assist in the office when applicable and give back after graduation.
