The Shoprite Group is inviting top students studying information technology (IT), chartered accounting, supply chain management and logistics, pharmacy and retail business management to apply for their 2020 bursaries.
Applications from IT and data engineering students are sought after given the critical skills shortage in this sector.
Comprehensive bursaries are awarded to assist with tuition, books and accommodation fees.

Each bursary comes with a work-back agreement, which would see the successful applicant ensured a job opportunity upon graduation.
