About Amandla Omoya Trust Bursary
The Amandla Omoya Trust Bursary is funded by the Amandla Omoya Trust, a community trust holding shares in the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm, for residents within a 50km radius of the wind farm studying any field.
Because eligibility depends entirely on where you live, the strongest thing you can do to strengthen your application is submit clean, current proof of address - a recent municipal account or an affidavit confirming your residence within the 50km radius carries more weight here than academic achievement alone.
Funding Details
The bursary value is determined individually and may cover tuition fees, registration fees, examination fees, and residence or equivalent accommodation costs.
Where You Can Study
Any recognised public or private South African tertiary or training institution qualifies - the bursary funds NQF level 6 technical and skills training (such as plumbing or bricklaying), National Diplomas, and Degree programmes alike.
