BoN awards bursaries to undergraduate students

By Confidente Reporter
THE Bank of Na­mibia (BoN) has awarded eight bursaries to undergrad­uate students.
This is part of the bank’s corporate social investment and respon­sibility policy initiatives.
The focus of the bank’s bursary scheme is to make a meaningful con­tribution to the country, by developing skills and strengthening the capa­bilities in the fields of economics, accounting, auditing, banking, infor­mation technology and education, while special­ising in mathematics and science.
To date, the bank has provided 84 undergrad­uate bursaries to de­serving candidates, who would not have other­wise been able to afford tertiary education.
This excludes 22 ben­eficiaries, who are cur­rently studying under the bursary scheme.
Some of the success­ful graduates that went through this scheme are in leadership positions at the bank, while others ply their trade at oth­er institutions, thereby making significant con­tributions in the devel­opment of Namibia.
