Why This Matters
University costs are high — and many strong students drop out in 2nd or 3rd year because funding dries up. The Bakwena Bursary Programme is designed to support students who have already proven their commitment by passing first year, and who are working towards professional careers that can strengthen local communities along the N1 and N4 corridor.
If you live near the Bakwena route and you’re serious about your studies, this is for you.
