2. TBW Bursary Scheme
Tamil Business Warriors (TBW) Bursary Scheme
Our Approach
When students with high potential do not have the financial ability to go to any tertiary institution TBW will step in with a bursary.
TBW acts As A Catalyst
TBW acts as a catalyst that changes the lives of academically brilliant students. Though able to succeed with intellect alone, financial constraints have, in many instances, limited their potential and restricted the good they can accomplish for their families, communities and country. Through the TBW bursary scheme, a wave of hope, possibility and positivity is created that breaks the cycle of hopelessness and despair, and launches them into a path of excellence, hope and prosperity.
How We Do It
TBW will award a bursary to promising students who are extremely bright and talented, but come from financially constrained backgrounds. These bursaries are granted to students who have scored well in their matric exams, and who have already been accepted to recognised institutions in South Africa. TBW will be creating a bursary fund where members will be encouraged to assist with sponsorships. Regular charity events will be also hosted to boost the fund to enable as many students as possible to take advantage of the bursary opportunity.
Not Just Financial Need
In addition to financial support, TBW will augment the bursary program, with soft skills training and upskilling opportunities for students, preparing them for their careers. Many TBW members particularly in the corporate environment provide individual mentorship (focused on employability skills) and career counselling.
