MORE ABOUT THE IQBAL SURVE BURSARY

The Dr Iqbal Survé Bursary Fund provides financial assistance to eligible students pursuing tertiary studies, including university and college programmes. The bursary is aimed at students who may otherwise face financial barriers to completing their education, while also placing emphasis on academic progress, accountability and personal development.

The bursary programme goes beyond financial support. Recipients are expected to monitor their academic performance, provide progress results and engage with available student development and career support services. This approach reflects Survé Philanthropies’ broader goal of helping young people develop the skills and opportunities needed to build successful futures.
