Mbombela - Matriculants who want to be entrepreneurs have until the end of April to apply for the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation Fellowship bursary.
The foundation offers those younger than 21 a chance to participate in an entrepreneurial and personal development programme that runs throughout the academic year alongside the fellow’s university studies.
“(We) identify, support and develop talented young Southern Africans who have the potential to become entrepreneurial leaders and make a valuable difference to the social and economic fabric of South Africa,” said foundation spokesperson Cherna Misrol.
The programme includes seminars, guest speakers, experiential learning activities and project-based learning deliverables.
Misrol said the foundation wants to make "a real and enduring difference", not only in the lives of those they invest in, but also the country and region at large.
She said grade 12 pupils must have level 5 in pure mathematics from their Grade 11 results and a level 6 average from their overall Grade 11 results (excluding life orientation).
“All applicants who meet the foundation’s requirements in the application phase will be invited for an interview and; if successful thereafter invited to attend a selection camp. Candidates will be announced after the selection camps,” she said.
She said the fellowship distinguishes itself from other bursary and scholarship programmes with its holistic and individual investment approach.
“The fellowship also offers the opportunity to engage in a personal and entrepreneurial development programme alongside access to university education.
"The foundation seeks to help individuals who will shape the future of Southern Africa, individuals with vision, passion, imagination and integrity,” Misrol added.
Applications close on April 30.
