Embury Institute offering R3.5 million in bursaries

Embury Institute for Higher Education is offering R3.5 million in bursaries for students to complete a Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching or a Bachelor of Education in Intermediate Phase Teaching from 2018 to 2021.

The institute, owned by Stadio Holdings, the higher education business of Curro Holdings, has announced that applications for its upcoming 2018 bursaries are now open.

The announcement comes as the private higher education institution celebrates its new Montana (Pretoria) and Waterfall (Midrand) campuses.

Twelve students will receive full bursaries worth R250 000 each, applicable to Embury’s three campuses, which includes the existing Durban campus.

This bursary, which covers all tuition and textbook fees for four years, plus the cost of a tablet or notebook in the first year, will only be available to students whose parents or guardians earn a combined monthly income of less than R20 000.

Education for all: How far are we?

Under the Triple 3 Campus Tuition Fee bursary scheme, full-time first-year students at all Embury’s campuses can win one of the three types of bursaries. The first of these, granted to three students, is a full bursary for the cost of each student’s first-year tuition fee, while the second bursary awards three students with a R20 000 discount on their tuition fee. Finally, the third bursary grants 33 students (11 per campus) a R10 000 discount off their tuition fee, following payment of their deposit.

This bursary scheme is only being made available to first-year applicants who have never before studied with Embury and who have been accepted to study full-time.

Open days are as follows:

• Waterfall on 29 July
• Montana on 5 August
• Durban on 12 August.
