One such worthy student, Kim Kelly De Wet, was very excited to receive a Dell bursary for her studies towards a BCom degree at the University of the Western Cape. Kim says, “Being able to further my education at university brings me immense joy as it takes me a step closer to realising my dreams of pursuing a career within the finance industry”.
The degree will aid Kim both on a personal and professional level. “My goal is to challenge the youth’s perception about finance in general and to also set an example that all things are possible through sheer hard work and determination”. Born in a single-parent home, Kim believes that the bursary has alleviated her mother’s stress in terms of worrying about how she would pay for her university tuition.
In addition to providing their tuition fees, the DDF supplies the students with a Dell laptop, campus residential fees and funds for their course work.
