Naspers is a global consumer internet group that has always been about smart, entrepreneurial thinking. Our products and services improve the everyday lives of more than 2 billion customers in over 100 countries, making a difference to how people eat, trade, learn, pay and connect.

Africa has the youngest population in the world, and it is important that we invest in their future. We believe that education can play a pivotal role in empowering and transforming communities from the inside out. That’s why we have established Naspers Bursaries, a bursary programme that aims to widen access to quality higher education for the next generation of South Africans.

The Naspers Bursary Programme offers holistic support, going beyond just financial assistance to also address psychosocial health and career readiness of our students. Our belief is that every individual’s needs are different, and our programme will offer individual counselling, mentorship, and monthly workshops to enable our students’ success.

We know better than anyone that there’s no silver bullet when it comes to finding talent. It can come from anywhere.

Students are the change-makers of tomorrow. Our aim is to support positive change by offering bursaries to qualifying students in STEM courses including commerce and business science. We’re on a mission to find young talent, who are just as committed as we are, to taking South Africa forward.
