A photograph of all 25 Siyandisa Foundation Scholarship recipients was featured in Express newspaper following the official award ceremony in Bloemfontein at which the grade 12 learners received their scholarship packs.
The article highlighted that what makes this Scholarship Programme like no other is its focus on providing vital resources and support to promising black grade 12 learners in their matric year. "We are of the view that insufficient attention is paid to the support of these top candidates. These learners, often from rural environments, have managed to overcome massive personal challenges and difficult financial and family backgrounds to stand as our top academic performers in the Free State," said Sam Moleko, Chair of Siyandisa Trust and spokesperson for the Siyandisa Foundation.
