About The College Bursary
The African Scholars Foundation opened its doors when it saw the enormous demand for quality education during apartheid. Currently, they are helping students from poor families by providing financial assistance for secondary school education expenses and college TVET.
The fund aims to contribute to the costs of tuition, school uniforms and transportation of students through monetary donations. ASF will not stop providing financial support, it will also guide, motivate and train its recipients until they complete their studies. They are fully focused on the well-being of students by monitoring their academic progress and providing feedback, maintaining regular contact with the chief financial officer.
Scholarship will be awarded to students in all fields of study who will continue their studies at the FET Academy, grades N1-N6, and certain practical courses.
Scholarship will only cover enrollment fees and course fees.
