ABOUT THE BURSAR

The aim of the Trust is to help give people with epilepsy a chance to further their studies and gain the skills
they need to enter the labour market.

ABOUT THE BURSARY
The bursary programme is intended for students with epilepsy, who have been accepted to study at a
tertiary institution. The bursary covers all fields of study, but would like to encourage students to follow a
career in which they are interested in and for which there is great demand in the South African labour
market.
