For Coloured Girls Bursary 2025

Description

The For Coloured Girls Bursary Foundation is inviting students to apply for their bursary programme for the 2025 academic year. This bursary is designed for female students from ‘coloured’ communities who are destitute and disadvantaged. The program aims to support students in their pursuit of academic success, particularly in the fields of language and STEM. Applicants can apply if they are high school students (Grades 8 to 12) or undergraduates in their first or second year. The Foundation seeks to empower young women from underprivileged backgrounds by providing financial assistance, mentoring, and resources that will help them navigate their educational journeys and make informed decisions about their futures. Eligibility criteria are stringent, with an emphasis on demonstrating a passion for learning and a minimum academic performance of 65%. The bursary not only covers their educational needs, but also offers access to valuable support services, enhancing their overall academic experience and socio-economic capabilities. To apply, students must fill out an online application form, ensuring they address specific themes in their essay submission and include certified academic results. The application deadline is the 31st of January 2025, and it's crucial for applicants to comply with all submission requirements to avoid disqualification. For any inquiries, potential applicants can contact the Foundation directly via phone or email. This initiative reflects a strong commitment to uplifting women in disadvantaged communities, addressing issues of access to education and creating pathways to academic and professional success.
