SAILI High School Bursary 2024
About SAILI
Established in 1996, SA Improved Learning Institution or SAILI, provides various bursaries and scholarship opportunities to meritorious and hardworking students. SAILI also extends its support to high-performing schools by providing their best scholars to them.
The organization believes that Science and Mathematics are important for the economy of South Africa, and these are the subjects that can provide access to science and technology-based tertiary education in the country. SAILI also religiously contributes to the science and technology sectors of the country, aiming to improve socio-economic conditions of the country.
Since its establishment, SAILI has sent over 500 students towards tertiary education in Engineering, Science, Commerce, and Medicine. SAILI envisions supporting candidates in working sectors of state education. Successful candidates are referred to top schools to ensure their academic goals are reached.
The organization would not have been able to cater to the needs of deserving students if it had not been because of their amazing donors. These donors are an important component of the organization and also provide project development guidance, mentorship, learning assistance, and work-shadow opportunities to SAILI. Donors of SAILI include Kantey & Templer, Aurecon, Polyoak packaging, Coronation, Investec, and FutureGrowth Asset Management.
