The Shoprite Group invites high-achieving students to apply for its comprehensive bursaries for the 2023 and 2024 academic years. Students enrolled for degree studies in Criminology, Accounting, Information Technology, E-Commerce, Retail Business Management and more can now apply for funding, which covers tuition fees and on-campus accommodation. In the last financial year, the retailer spent over R16m on its bursary programme, which funded 206 students. As the largest private sector employer in South Africa, the Group is one of the top graduate employers in the country. In 2022, for the second consecutive year, the retailer was awarded the Gradstar Students’ Choice Award for Retail Employer of Choice, an award voted for by students.
