About Nedbank External Bursary Programme
The Nedbank External Bursary Programme aims to fund academically deserving students who do not have the financial means to study full-time towards a first undergraduate degree or diploma at a South African public university or university of technology. The bursary program aims to address South Africa’s scarce skills shortages, with a specific focus on green economy skills.
In short, a green economy promotes sustaining and advancing economic, environmental, and social well-being. Green-economy skills refer to those areas of study that focus on improving human well-being and social equity, while also significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. Green economy skills include reducing carbon emissions and pollution, increasing energy and materials efficiency, and enhancing our natural capital.
