delivered by Kutlwanong Maths, Science and Technology Centre. The programme, funded by Investec, provides extra Maths and Science classes to high school learners to boost their performance in these subjects. With a 13 year track record, Promaths produces learners who are proficient in Maths and Science as well as driven, ambitious students. Many of these students however are unable to secure bursaries to study further. The Promaths Bursary Fund is specifically designed for Promaths alumni who lack the funding to pursue a tertiary education.

  • Decrease the number of well deserving Promaths students who matriculate with good results and don’t continue their studies.
  • Increase good role modelling within communities that Promaths operates in.

Fund Administation

  • The fund operates independently, from its donors and partners.
  • The fund is administered by StudyTrust, an independent bursary management organisation that has been in this space for 44 years, of which Investec has been in partnership for 12 years.
