The Motsepe Foundation was established in 1999 by business leader Patrice Motsepe and his wife, Dr Precious Motsepe.
The principal aim and object of the Motsepe Foundation is to establish a fund and organisation to provide funding and support for charitable, educational, religious, healthcare and other philanthropic projects and initiatives in order to fight poverty and improve the social and economic conditions of the poor, unemployed and marginalised persons and communities.
For the 2015 academic year, The Motsepe Foundation awarded bursaries to 375 students from the 26 District Municipality/ Metro-Motsepe Foundation Development Forums which have been established around the country.
Students who wish to be considered for a bursary for the 2016 academic year are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to the 26 District Municipality/ Metro-Motsepe Foundation Development Forums which have been established around the country. Bursary funding will be considered for qualifying students who:-
- have achieved Educational/ Academic Excellence;
- come from families in need;
- intend to pursue courses preferably related to Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Technology and Business Studies:
Students who wish to pursue other fields of study, and who have excellent academic results will also be considered.
Funding recipients are not expected to pay the Foundation back but serving the country and their communities will suffice.
