Bursary Fund
Your Household Employee has access to apply for a bursary for themselves, their children or grand-children through the VC Employee Assist Bursary Fund
We believe in using our expertise to do good, by helping Household Employees through our bursary program.
The VCEA Bursary Program aims to fund a Household Employee, their own child or grandchild with a study bursary at a university, college or high school.
Most Household employees do not have the financial means to study fulltime or part-time towards a first undergraduate degree or diploma at a South African public university or technical college.
Bursary funds for high school learners are also available. Household employees may also apply for funding for short courses at a training facility that are accredited at the Department of Education in South Africa or at a relevant SETA.
VCEA promotes the sustaining, advancing economic and social well-being of Household Employees and their immediate family members. We want to focus on improving the Household Employee’s and/or their
immediate family’s skills and education.
