In cooperation with Chesterville High School, Vukukhanye has initiated a Bursary project to facilitate tertiary education for deserving, disadvantaged learners.
The aim of the project is to contribute towards the ability of disadvantaged individuals from Chesterville Secondary School to achieve tertiary educational qualifications; by providing an incentive for high school achievement and by providing the necessary financial support, as well as mentoring and associated support, to deserving individuals. In this way it is hoped to contribute to the socio-economic development of Chesterville.
The initial goal is to award two (2) new bursaries in the first year of the bursary programme (2009 academic year) and a further 8 new bursaries from 2010-2013, at a rate of two new bursaries per year.
The bursaries will be offered in the form of a long-term, interest free loan. Once recipients are earning, they will be required to reinvest the value of the bursary they received into the bursary fund, and so contribute to the sustainability and growth of the fund.
Any contributions to this initiative would be most appreciated. Donations to the bursary fund can be made into the following bank account:
