Overview/Details

Cornerstone Institute is offering bursaries through its Give Back 100 Campaign, an initiative designed to expand access to higher education for capable individuals who want to build careers in business but have not yet had the opportunity to study at tertiary level. This is the 4th round of Give Back 100 bursary applications.

What makes this bursary particularly accessible is that all programmes are offered in distance mode, meaning you can study online either full-time or part-time from anywhere in South Africa. There are no relocation costs and no need to be based in a specific city, making this a realistic option for students who may be working, living in rural areas, or managing other responsibilities while pursuing their studies.

The bursary covers full tuition for the duration of your studies, excluding any repeated or failed modules. In deserving cases, support for a laptop, data allowance, and textbooks is also available based on an individual needs assessment. Cornerstone Institute partners with leading South African businesses and organisations who fund these bursaries as part of their investment in the next generation of graduates.
