list of scholarship opportunities for Gr 6s transitioning to high school

Cape Town Scholarship Organisations: All scholarship organisations prioritise low family income although this varies from organisation to organisation to as low as R7000 and as high as R42 000. Organisations asking for maths/ english achievement will look at school reports as well as set their own exams. Generally a code 6 or 7 is required to be considered.
