Department of Basic Education and Wits University present Equality Scholarship recipients
The Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie Motshekga, and Wits University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adam Habib, will this week announce the names of the 10 matriculants who have been awarded Wits Equality Scholarships.
The Scholarships have been created to assist talented learners from marginalised communities to access quality higher education and are awarded to the top 10 learners from Quintile 1 and 2 schools who choose to attend Wits. They are worth about R100 000 per annum for the duration of the recipients’ undergraduate degrees, provided that they continue to excel.
The Scholarships are a testament to the collective commitment of the department and the higher education sector to ensure the improvement of the lives of future generations.
You are invited to attend the announcement and meet the recipients.
