Athlone Institute Bursary Project Fund (AIBPROF) South Africa 2024

 

ABOUT THE BURSARY PROVIDER – ATHLONE INSTITUTE

The Athlone Institute Trust (AIT) was established in 1926, when residents of the Paarl area recognised the need for Higher Educational facilities for coloured students. In 1998, the Bursary Project Committee was founded and later in 2006 became renamed to “The Athlone Institute Bursary Project Fund (AIBPROF)”. Athlone Institute Bursary Project Fund has since helped more than 1500 students with their tertiary studies.

In 2020, the AIT awarded R600 000 in bursaries and bursary loans to 42 students, studying towards various qualifications.
