Bursaries - Education is crucial to growing capacity and achieving sustainability - both in society and in business. It is in this sector that PPS can make a difference. PPS awards up to 10 bursaries annually, to the value of R15,000 each, on the condition that the student is promoted to the next year of academic study. These funds are made available for tuition fees and books. Bursaries are awarded on financial need basis.

Scholarship - Every year, PPS awards a Scholarship valued at R40,000, to a student with exceptional academic results. The award covers tuition fees and books, as well as accommodation and allowance.  Scholarship is awarded based on academic merit.

To be eligible for the PPS Scholarship or Bursaries Award, you need to be:

-Registered at a South African university

-Registering for at least your 4th year of study or post-graduate study in 2010
