About The Bursary

The available funding opportunities serves as a commitment to skills development, meaningful socio-economic transformation, and the country’s broader development agenda. 

In most instances you can expect the sponsorship to offers the following:

  2. On-going psycho-social support provided by Excel@Uni.
  3. Light-touch mentorship for developing essential skills imperative for personal and professional growth.  
  4. The funding is renewable annually, based on performance & budget.
  5. Work-Back Requirement: If your application is successful, you will be required to work for the sponsor for the length of time that they sponsored you, otherwise you will need to pay the bursary funds back with interest added.
