University, FET and Bursary Information South Africa
In an effort to contribute to the development of scarce skills in South Africa and the country’s retail sector, as well as to support the continuous expansion of its financial departments, stores and pharmacies, the Shoprite Group of Companies this year has made budgets available to expand its bursary program and student training initiatives.
Shoprite has been providing bursaries to students for more than 15 years, especially in the fields of Pharmacy, Retail Business Management and Accounting (CA route). It has made approximately 1200 bursaries available, not only in South Africa but also in countries such as Nigeria, Zambia, Namibia and Angola. The bursary program has grown from 41 active bursaries per year to more than 250 active bursaries provided to students in 2012.
