UCT Online High School Learning Liberated Scholarship Programme for bright young South Africans

UCT Online High School is launching a Learning Liberated Scholarship Programme to unleash South Africa’s learning potential. Our mission is to make online education as affordable as possible to provide more education opportunities to bright young South Africans. As a result, we are collaborating with Corporate South Africa to make this vision a reality by unlocking the funds to make this possible. If you would like to be part of this exciting opportunity and apply for a potential scholarship you will need to complete a scholarship application as part of your UCT Online High School admissions application.

Why partial scholarships?

The Learning Liberated Scholarship programme offers partial scholarships for the January 2024 intake to make education more accessible to a diverse range of learners who may not afford the full tuition. This approach allows for more efficient distribution of financial aid, supporting a larger number of learners with available funds. Additionally, funding through donations and philanthropy increases support for the programme, as donors can see their tangible impact on multiple learners. Partial scholarships also foster a sense of commitment among recipients to maintain academic performance, leading to higher success rates. Furthermore, this financial assistance helps learners and their families manage education costs.
