The Nedbank External Bursary Programme

The Nedbank External Bursary Programme focuses on funding academically worthy students who do not have the financial resources to attend lectures fulltime towards their first undergraduate degree or diploma at a South African public university or university of technology. The goal of the bursary programme is to address South Africa’s scarce-skills shortages, with a particular concentration on green economy skills.

Briefly, green economy promotes continuos and advancing economic, environmental and social well being. Green economy skills are those areas of study that concentrate on bettering human well being and social equity, while also remarkably reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. Green economy skills include the increasing energy and materials efficiency, amplifying our natural capital and reducing of carbon emissions and pollution.
