Description
The Athlone Institute Bursary Project Fund (AIBPROF) is a notable programme established in 1926, primarily aimed at supporting students from the Paarl area, especially those who belong to the five member churches of the Athlone Institute Trust. This year, the AIT has opened applications for the 2025 academic year. Eligible students can apply for financial assistance to cover a portion of their registration and tuition fees for any field of study at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The bursaries are specifically designed for South African citizens residing in the Paarl or Mbekweni areas or those associated with the designated churches of the Athlone Institute Trust. To submit an application, students must satisfy various eligibility criteria, including proof of financial need, successful completion of their previous academic studies, and willingness to engage in community service. The bursary offers a valuable opportunity for students facing financial difficulties to further their education in a supportive environment.
