Financial Assistance

Trainees who require financial assistance are encouraged to apply in writing to the Wolwedans Foundation and elaborate on their financial circumstances to motivate for financial assistance.

The Foundation is prepared to assess each individual case in order to see what financial assistance is suitable for the specific applicant. Please note that financial assistance isnt guaranteed. Our applicants for financial assistance fall into 2 categories:

Category 1 (Full Funding): For applicants whose parent/guardian is unable to pay any of the indicated fees, we endeavour to match these applicants with suitable donors in the form of a bursary that can subsidise their portion of the fees. 

Category 2 (Part Funding): Those candidates able to pay a portion of the fees, are encouraged to apply to The Wolwedans Education Assistance Fund in order to make up the shortfall.

Candidates who fall into these categories are encouraged to download our application form and submit the necessary financial documents to support their application. Please read more about our Wolwedans Education Assistance Fund by clicking HERE.
