Investec Bursary Programme 2022 for South Africans

A bursary from Investec is for so much more than just providing financial support for your degree. Investec places a significant emphasis on the development of well-rounded individuals so that graduates are not only academically qualified but also ready for the workforce, socially conscious and economic participants who are a part of society rather than living outside of it.
