Through this partnership (Foundation & Centre) the GSB strengthens its?commitment to transformation and equality?and UCT’s strategic goal to address key development challenges facing Africa.

The Bertha Foundation supports activists, storytellers and lawyers across the world, who are working to bring about social and economic justice, and human rights for all. The Bertha Scholars at the GSB are part of this global Bertha Foundation network.

To date the Centre has awarded over R7 million in funding to more than 60 students from across the African continent.

The Bertha Scholarship covers full or partial costs of the MBA (both full-time and the modular programme) and MPhil in Inclusive Innovation programmes at the University of Cape Town?s Graduate School of Business.

The scholarship entails joining an illustrious cohort of alumni, and a thriving community of dynamic change makers. Being a scholar is about joining a collective, as much as it is about propelling your own professional and personal trajectory.

In doing this, the Centre aims to diversify the student body at the GSB, by enabling scholars who might not have been able to study at the institution and investing in their journey to increase their social impact as their career evolves.

The Centre recognises the systemic impact of nurturing cross-disciplinary/sector relationships and networks, and therefore are committed to growing its Scholar Alumni Community.

    • if you are an?entrepreneur?who has started or worked with a social/green/entrepreneurial innovative idea that seeks social and/or economic change.
