Story 1
The Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme and the ASISA Foundation have partnered to launch a new actuarial science bursary and financial literacy programme, aimed at expanding access to one of South Africa’s critical scarce-skills professions.
The initiative was launched at the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants offices in Bryanston and aims to provide full bursary funding and support to 15 undergraduate and postgraduate actuarial science students from poor and missing-middle households across five universities.
Board member Dr Portia Maluleke says many talented young South Africans are prevented from reaching their potential due to limited access to educational opportunities.
