Upon receiving an offer to join our team, successful applicants for our learnerships/student internships are given the opportunity to apply for a need-based scholarship of up to $500 per month to supplement the position’s normal stipend of $1,750 per month.
Please only apply for this scholarship if you expect your basic monthly expenses during the internship period (including student loan payments and savings needed to enable future education) to exceed $1,750 per month. This could be because you financially support someone in addition to yourself, because you have debt beyond student loans, because you cannot rely on financial support from family members, or for other reasons. We trust you to be honest in your assessment of your economic reality.
If you feel you qualify for the scholarship, please send us a brief paragraph stating why your basic monthly expenses will exceed $1,750 per month during the learnership/student internship and what scholarship amount (up to $500 per month) would enable you to accept the position.
