City of Tshwane facilitates higher education bursaries for five learners

The Tshwane Leadership and Management Academy (TLMA), in partnership with the companies EST Sourcing and MaxProf, have awarded five students in need with higher education bursaries worth R214 000 collectively.

EST Sourcing approached TLMA to provide a database of disadvantaged youths awaiting financial support to further their studies. This request was then followed by a vigorous vetting process to select successful candidates for the bursary programme, with two of the learners living with disabilities.

EST Sourcing specialises in the management of corporate social responsibility for companies such as MaxProf. Through its work, EST Sourcing focuses on providing access to higher education for South African youths. The company works with public and private colleges and ensures that beneficiaries receive mentorship and support throughout the course of their qualifications.

The City of Tshwane through TLMA is committed to supporting Tshwane youths and students who need financial support to further their studies. We achieve this by partnering with companies such as EST Sourcing and we also provide opportunities for learners to do work-integrated learning in the City.

The selected five bursary recipients will study at the Tshwane University of Technology, University of South Africa and North-West University.

On behalf of the City, I would like to thank our social responsibility partners and stakeholders for assisting in opening the doors of education for the selected five Tshwane learners. We hope that we can have more partnerships such as these to benefit more learners.
