Tertiary Bursary Programme
Investec, in partnership with StudyTrust, provides the funding necessary to see young South Africans with academic potential get to university. With our assistance, they are able to study towards financial sector-related degrees at various local universities.
An Investec bursary is so much more than funding for your degree. We are highly invested in developing well-rounded individuals so that our graduates are not only qualified but work ready too. We assist you with the job search and our programme is designed to help you navigate the jump from high school to university.
From the moment you are accepted into the Investec bursary programme, you are given the chance to rewrite your future. With a good education, nothing is impossible and you are given an opportunity to become the very best version of yourself.
The mentorship programme assisted in grooming the determined, passionate, courageous individual that I now am.
