Miss SA offers 10 more bursaries

REIGNING Miss South Africa Natasha Joubert has launched the second phase of her advocacy campaign, with 10 more bursaries being made available as part of the education arm of her Natasha Joubert Collective.

This time Joubert has partnered with computer company ASUS which will be sponsoring five coding scholarships to individuals who aspire to pursue a career in technology.

They have been joined by leading coding school HyperionDev, which will also be sponsoring five bursaries.

“I’m grateful that my campaign is helping some young people achieve more than they dreamed they would.

“The overwhelming response has strengthened my commitment to do as much as possible in the education and entrepreneurial spaces to make a difference in some people’s lives,” said Joubert.

Juan Mouton, ASUS country marketing manager South Africa, said they were delighted to join forces with Joubert and HyperionDev to make a tangible difference in the lives of South African youth.

His sentiments were echoed by HyperionDev CEO and founder Riaz Moola: “Our primary goal extends beyond upskilling. We are dedicated to fostering the talents of our participants and assisting them in finding gainful opportunities in the workforce. The partnership with Miss South Africa is a testament to our commitment.”

The scholarships will enable selected students to participate in a comprehensive six-month Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp offered by HyperionDev. This online, part-time programme includes official HyperionDev certification on completion and access to the HyperionDev 90-Day Bespoke Graduate Programme, providing graduates with skills and support to kick-start their careers in technology.

The ASUS/HyperionDev campaign opened on Tuesday and entries will close on April 19. The scholarships are open to all residents of South Africa, regardless of background or experience. The 10 recipients will be announced on April 30.
