My Nedbank Bursary experience
By Keneliwe Modiba
I have been a Nedbank bursary holder for the past three years while
completing my undergraduate degree.
I was thrilled to have received a full Nedbank bursary during my first year.
Being under Nedbank’s care has been the greatest pleasure, as they always
paid for my tuition, accommodation, meals and books with unbelievable
efficacy. I never felt any of the pressure that most bursary students have felt.
When you’re part of their bursary programme, Nedbank’s only request is
quite simple – perform to the best of your abilities.
Being a Nedbank bursary holder has taught me invaluable lessons about
becoming independent and also excelling at what I do. The Roadshows that
Nedbank offers to the bursary holders were presented in an insightful manner
and gave us a clear view of the different career paths that are available to us.
My experience with Nedbank has been nothing short of terrific
and I sincerely hope to continue a fruitful relationship with them. The Nedbank
