Naspers Bursary 2022

The company is offering financial help to students via bursaries. Known as the Naspers Bursaries, these are meant for young black Africans who want to pursue higher studies but face financial hurdles.

For the academic session 2022, the bursaries will be awarded to students who are in the following fields of study:

• Engineering
• Science
• Technology
• Mathematics
• Commerce
• Business Sciences

Funding is available for first-year students through to those studying at the Honours level. They must be academically brilliant.

The bursary amount will be decided on an individual basis. However, the Naspers bursary guarantees to cover the following expenses:

• Tuition fees for the entire duration of the study
• Prescribed textbooks expenses
• Accommodation cost
• Meals
• Living allowance

Along with that, first-year students will also receive a laptop from the company free of cost. They will have unrestricted access to the mentorship programmes, career guidance events, workshops, and monthly counselling sessions. All of these will help students join the workforce straight out of college.

The bursary requires the students to be actively involved in supporting local communities and giving back wherever possible.
