SAAFoST Bursaries
SAAFoST established the SAAFoST Foundation in 2012, which administers all SAAFoST academic prizes, awards and bursaries.
Objectives of the Foundation
- The Foundation’s main objective is to administer the Bursaries and Academic prizes awarded by SAAFoST. These include Travel Grants, Aubrey Parsons Study Grants, Koeppen Memorial Scholarships, Matric Bursaries, Undergraduate Bursaries and Pieter van Twisk Academic Achievement Awards;
- The Foundation endeavours to optimise the invested capital in such a way as to generate maximum returns and to ensure the long-term stability of the Foundation.
- A primary objective is to increase the number of bursaries that can be accommodated every year to grow the number of students entering the field of food science and technology;
- The Foundation investigates possible avenues of increasing the donor base – i.e. by setting up mechanisms in which companies or individuals can contribute directly to the Foundation’s initiatives.
- The Foundation makes suggestions on the selection criteria for the various awards and bursaries, in liaison with the SAAFoST Council.
