Anthony Farr, CEO of the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, says: “We aim to support and develop talented young South Africans through our Fellowship, which provides comprehensive financial support, access to entrepreneurial and personal development as well as mentorship opportunities to ensure the individual’s continued progress.”

“What distinguishes us from other scholarship and bursary programmes is our focus on developing high impact entrepreneurial leaders. It is the Foundation’s belief that such individuals are capable of shaping and transforming the future of the Southern African region as they drive positive change in the world. The Foundation therefore seeks to nurture and develop an entrepreneurial mindset in the most promising of Southern Africa’s youth through its Scholarship and Fellowship opportunities,” concludes Farr.

Applications to the Fellowship close on 30 April 2013 for grade 12 learners and on 31 August 2013 for current first year university students. Visit www.allangrayorbis.org for more information.

      Hi

      My Daughter will be doing grade 6 next year . I’d like to find out if the scholarship is only awarded to poor/disadvaged kids or even the middle class but talented and hardworking kids with excellent marks can apply?

      My daughter scores good grades and I would like her to attend one of your sponsored high schools but I cannot afford them.

      Thanks

It is her dream to be in that school and pains my heart to see that her dream might not come true because I can not afford the fees. Please help.
