Only learners who meet the following criteria will be considered:
1. New learners from Grades 8 to 10
2. Learners achieving academic excellence measured as:
   • Attaining an overall aggregate of 70% or above in the latest academic report
    • Attaining at least 70% in Mathematics and English in their term 4 of 2020 report as well as in
      their 2021 term 2 academic report (hereinafter referred to as ‘minimum academic standards‘)
3. Scholarships awarded will be for the learner’s remaining school career, subject to them
   maintaining the averages on which the initial reward was calculated and further terms and
   conditions will be communicated should the learner be accepted. In evaluating the learner’s
   progress, the executive head and general manager of each school will have regard for the
   expected decline in academic averages as the learner progresses to higher grades. If a learner
   fails to meet minimum standards, the learner may be obliged to attend corrective interventions,
   designed by the school, to support the learner. Failure to attend the corrective interventions
   and show progress over a period of time, may result in the scholarship being reduced or
   terminated accordingly.

GENERAL
1. KFC, the scholarship approval committee and the foundation may exercise its discretion in
   awarding scholarships where a learner will make a definite positive contribution to the school
   on various levels, but falls just short of the specific criteria on each individual level. Awarding the
   scholarship will depend on the financial circumstances of KFC and the Ruta Sechaba Foundation,
   amongst other factors.
2. Scholarships are conditional upon there being sufficient capacity and vacancy in the specific grade
   within the relevant participating school.
3. KFC, the foundation and the scholarship approval committee, unilaterally and in its sole discretion,
   reserves the right to amend, remove or change any of the terms relating to this scholarship policy,
   at any time.
