The Allan Gray Orbis Foundation is committed to investing in the education and development of individuals with entrepreneurial potential in Southern Africa and is calling on first-year university students to apply for the Foundation’s Fellowship Programme.
The Fellowship provides education beyond a degree, offering holistic entrepreneurial training to ensure that candidate fellows create value through responsible entrepreneurship, see entrepreneurship as a viable career path and are able to take an idea and develop it into a viable opportunity.
In addition to financial and academic support, each candidate is allocated a Personal Development Officer, helping them transition into a new environment as well as a Entrepreneurial Leadership officer that assist them to flex their entrepreneurial thinking.
Fellowship recipients, known as Allan Gray Candidate Fellows, receive support and development to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, as well as funding for university studies. The Fellowship Programme gives students a stepping-stone to nurture their entrepreneurial potential in order for them to grow into well-rounded, high-impact and responsible entrepreneurs.
