Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust (CRET) Bursary

Organisation

Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust (CRET)

Description

The Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust (CRET) aims to recruit candidates that would ordinarily be overlooked by other bursary programmes, which may only seek out top academic achievers. This is a bursary scheme that considers the holistic needs of selected student as well as their potential, and with support, nurturing and mentoring, will rise above their circumstances to become future leaders. We also look for real leadership capability in our candidates and expect a demonstrable ingrained ethos of community service and a commitment to “paying it forward”.

Bursary Fields

Who Can Apply

Any student from a financially needy background who can demonstrate such need. Our goal is to provide financial assistance for those students who, without additional support would not apply to study further and/or complete their chosen qualification. Preference will be given each year to essential and scarce skills education applicants as determined by the Department of Labour, various SETAs, and other labour and economic advisors.
