We believe in the power of education to shape a brighter future, not just for individuals but also for our communities, the environment, and society as a whole. By offering these bursaries, we aim to support talented young individuals who excel academically and aspire to pursue undergraduate studies in agriculture or related fields. Our founder, Dr. Hans Merensky's humanitarian vision inspires us to invest in the educational development of future generations.
The Westfalia Education Bursary programme covers various disciplines, including Agricultural Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Horticulture, Food Science, and more. Additionally, we have expanded the programme to consider students from local communities who wish to study fields that bring communal benefits, such as medicine, nursing, and teaching. Priority will be given to candidates from the communities where Westfalia operates, ensuring that we uplift and support those closest to us.
To be eligible for the Westfalia Education Bursaries, candidates must meet the following requirements:
· South African citizenship with a valid ID
· Currently in Grade 12 or have recently graduated from Grade 12
· Pre-approval from an Institute of Higher Learning
· Demonstrated financial need
· Outstanding academic record
· Willingness to study full-time
If you have children in Grade 12 or know deserving candidates who meet these criteria, we encourage you to inform them about this life-changing opportunity. By sharing this information, you can play a role in shaping their future and contributing to the development of our society.
The application deadline is October 31, 2024. Our dedicated team will meticulously review each application, ensuring a fair and thorough selection process.
Together, let's inspire and empower the next generation of leaders in the agricultural sector and beyond. By investing in their education, we invest in a brighter future for all.
