Note: the Trustees may choose to ask for additional information once all applications have been received. The applicant will be contacted directly and given adequate time to provide such additional information, if required.
Selection Process:
The Board of Trustees has the final say as to who shall receive bursaries and/or scholarships from this Fund.
Available Scholarships and/or Bursaries:
