Nedbank Namibia has awarded bursaries worth N$680,000 under its 2024 bursary programme to a total of 21 students.
According to Nedbank, the award represents one of the largest-ever investments by the bank in bursaries aimed at supporting 21 bursary recipients, of which 9 are external students pursuing their chosen fields of study and academic skills.
The students who received the bursaries are pursuing qualifications in statistics, mathematics, computer science, information technology, law, accounting, commerce, and business management.
“From Nedbank’s perspective, it is important for us to give back to the community by creating opportunities for the youth, who are the future leaders, to develop themselves. We believe in the power of education to unlock potential and drive positive change, and this record investment in bursaries demonstrates our commitment to investing in people and communities, empowering individuals to realize their aspirations and contribute meaningfully to society,” Bianca Muller, Executive for Human Capital at Nedbank Namibia said.
