Submit your entry for one of 50 scholarships

HIGH school pupils who are in need of the DirectAxis Currie Cup scholarship are urged get their entries in before the closing date, Friday, 11 November.

Financial services company, DirectAxis, launched the school scholarship programme as part of its Currie Cup sponsorship.

The company is offering R 250 000 to cover school fees and other education-related expenses, including sports tours, for high school pupils.

Fifty scholarships worth R5 000 each will be awarded.

To apply, pupils or their guardians can visit www.yoursupportplayer.co.za to fill in the online application.

The successful applicants will be informed from Monday, 14 November onward.

The scholarships will be paid to the schools they attend to cover the expenses for the 2017 academic year.

“We sponsored the Currie Cup, because it’s the competition which gives players who may go on to become Super Rugby or even Springbok players a chance to show their potential.

“The scholarships are intended to do the same thing, giving pupils, girls or boys, an opportunity to shine,” said CEO of DirectAxis Financial Services, Emanuel Cristaudo.
