About GrandWest

GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World is the largest entertainment destination of its kind in South Africa. The only casino in Cape Town, it is a wonderland of around-the-clock entertainment, with all the thrills and excitement of a Las Vegas-scale casino.

The GrandWest Bursary Fund aimed at those from disadvantaged communities who’ve been previously excluded from socio-economic developments. It’s established in 2007.

The bursary fund focuses not only on academic results but also considers the “sheer determination” of a student, GrandWest said.

“This means that the bursary fund does not only target high academic achievers. If you have overcome challenges to get into tertiary education, you should apply for this bursary.

“We are able to support up to 40 students this year, depending on availability,” said Genevieve Smith, sustainability manager at GrandWest.
