“The class of 2022 are here, and we are excited to introduce them to the world. Young scholars full of promise, who carry high hopes for their final year of high school are certainly worth watching. With all the resources provided to them to ensure that no stone is left unturned as far as their academics are concerned, we believe our scholars will be among the top performers come the release of the next matric results in January 2023”, says Cikizwa Bacela, Siyandisa Foundation Programme Coordinator.
The Class of 2022 were warmly welcomed to this prestigious Scholarship Programme during a virtual event which took place on the 20th April 2022. Scholars, their respective school principals and others tuned in to Zoom to attend this year’s awards event from all across South Africa. The Siyandisa Foundation Scholarship Programme focuses on academic excellence and has over the past five years managed to reach and impact 225 scholars from across all nine provinces in South Africa.
Providing scholars with learning resources, university preparation, funding support, a tutorship programme, bursary support and online academic support from top teachers during their Grade 12 year, we know that the scholars need only worry about doing their part to ensure that they leave high school with the highest possible marks.
Furthermore, these scholars who automatically become part of the Siyandisa Foundation alumni network of top achievers, also receive as part of the offering a tablet device, 50G of data monthly, X50 hours of high-definition academic videos in key subjects, supplementary online revision classes and communication tools. The aim is to ensure that scholars leave high school as well-equipped as is possible in order to enter tertiary studies with confidence.
Since its inception in 2017, the scholarship programme has to date seen recipients amass 1234 distinctions with each year seeing an average of 87.1% overall - and there is no doubt that the class of 2022 will also make their mark. So it's definitely a space worth watching!
