Education as the Great Equaliser: How FirstRand Foundation's scholarships are transforming South Africa's future
In May, the FRF hosted a celebratory send-off brunch at The Leonardo in Sandton to honour the six outstanding winners of the 2024 National Teaching Awards.
Education is one of the surest ways to unlock opportunity. For individuals, it offers the chance to change the trajectory of their lives.
For society, it cultivates the skills, ideas and leadership needed to solve pressing challenges and achieve long-term prosperity. In South Africa, where inequality remains entrenched and too many young people lack access to quality learning, investing in education is not just a moral obligation; it is an economic imperative.
This belief sits at the heart of the FirstRand Foundation (FRF) and the FirstRand Empowerment Foundation (FREF). Together, they form the social-investing arms of the FirstRand Group, and together they are committed to reducing poverty and inequality by supporting initiatives that expand access to education at all levels
