Maharishi Institute partners with radio station to award bursaries
JOBURG CBD - Power 98.7 in association with the Maharishi Institute is offering up to 300 bursary opportunities to successful 2014 matriculants seeking to study towards a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
The four-year degree will be conducted through the Maharishi University of Management (USA) which is recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority, the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business, the Regenesys Business School, the University of The Free State and other South African universities.
The Institute’s business programmes are also accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education.
The deserving recipients of these bursaries would commence their first year of study with a one-year higher certificate in Business Management through the Sandton-based Regenesys Business School.
Thereafter, the students would continue with the USA-based degree via distance education with materials and other support being provided at the Maharishi Institute’s campus located in Johannesburg City Centre.
The bursary includes tuition fees, books and study material, computers and internet access, lunch, leadership camps and access to the institution’s programmes.
Taddy Blecher, CEO of the Maharishi Institute, said, “As an institution with a social conscience, Maharishi Institute is always looking at ways of providing study opportunities to deserving students to empower and enable them to make a meaningful contribution to the country.
Executive Director of Power 98.7, Andile Khumalo, said the association resonated with Power 98.7’s ethos of embarking on initiatives that combat poverty and address inequality and unemployment.
“Power 98.7 is acutely mindful of the important role education can play to address the socio-economic challenges that our people are facing. We are honoured to have an association with the Maharishi Institute in this initiative and we believe that our collective contribution will change the lives of these students and the country for the better,” says Khumalo.
Interested applicants must attend the Institutes Open Days at their Johannesburg Campus to be accessed for this unique opportunity.
