TTI Bursary 2024
Empowering Tomorrow: A New Chapter in the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice.
The recent amendments to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Codes of Good Practice require large entities to spend a portion (2,5%) of their annual payroll (leviable amount) on bursaries for black students at Higher Education Institutions in order to earn points under the Skills Development element of the B-BBEE scorecard.
This move towards increased support of students has shown government’s trust and encouragement for corporates to play their part in assisting more students gain access to tertiary education.
The challenge of access to higher education
According to a General Household Survey In 2017, 1.4 million individuals aged 18-24 reported that they did not attend any educational institutions because they had no money for fees. The report further shows that the number of graduates from public higher universities more than doubled from 92 874 in 2000 to 203 076 in 2016.
South Africa has made great progress and TTI has been in the forefront of helping students access tertiary funding opportunities and supporting them throughout their educational journey for years.
