Garden Cities Bursary 2023
Gardens Cities: an overview
In South Africa, Garden Cities develops and manages properties. Various suburbs are built by this company. In 1919, Richard Stuttaford founded the firm with inspiration from Sir Ebenezer Howard, a well-known British urban planner. World War I slum dwellers were proposed to be relocated to newly planned towns.
Since Garden Cities was founded more than 100 years ago, it has developed a wide range of world-class housing projects, including:
- Pinelands Garden City
- Meadowridge Garden City
- Square Hill Garden City
- Elfindale Garden City
- Northpine Garden City
Land is purchased for future residential projects with much of the profits reinvested. School halls are also built and CSR initiatives are funded with profits.
The Garden Cities Bursary will be awarded in 2023
A certain number of Garden Cities students receive financial aid every year through bursaries. With the Garden Cities bursary programme, students whose financial circumstances prevent them from attending college are able to improve their lives. Therefore, the South African labor market has access to a large pool of qualified professionals.

A case-by-case assessment will determine the bursary value. Registering fees, tuition fees, and other costs will be calculated by the selectors based on the financial need.
In the beginning, the bursary will be awarded for one academic term. Funding for subsequent sessions can be reapplied for. Academic performance will determine selection.
