Promoting Inclusive Access

🕊️ The FMHS Ithemba Bursary Fund, established in 2015, provides critical financial support to students who do not qualify for existing funding structures. Ithemba — meaning “hope” — honours the legacy of the late SU Rector, Prof Russel Botman, whose HOPE Project opened doors for those who might otherwise have been excluded. Contributing to this fund helps sustain that legacy and expand access to transformative education. Please download the donor's form and email the completed form to Candice Egan on [email protected].
