“Bursary funding changed my life and my career path.”
I still remember the day that I first heard of the bursary, little did I know that it would have such a big impact on my life and personal development. Getting bursary funding gave me the opportunity to study without having to worry about how it would be financed. I also got to study further than just an undergraduate degree and I am now busy with my Master’s degree in Engineering Management. I believe that bursary funding has truly changed my life and my career path. Funding of this sort has the ability to change lives and give beneficiaries more than just monetary value, but also a better quality of life. This ultimately leads to more students who can have an impact in their communities.
