The program targets young school-leavers from disadvantaged areas that are not able to access tertiary education due to socio-economic circumstances. These youngsters must possess a sport skill (within our current program, that skill is cricket) that they can exchange for a holistic educational opportunity, hence the name, Sport Skills for Life Skills. The student will then have the privilege of enhancing their sport skill while studying for a degree within the chosen or desired field of study.
 

We assess the appropriate academic route after consultation with the candidate and the family, as well as taking into consideration the applicant's school results, specific interests and the economic viability of the intended course. In this way, we provide career guidance and we hope to achieve maximum economic impact for both the candidate and society.

The candidate will be assigned to a mentor whom will monitor his/her progress throughout the academic career. Strategic interventions will ensure that any stumbling blocks that might affect a candidate and a successful outcome are addressed.

We strive to assist candidates by providing financial assistance through a scholarship but also encourage them to build a career while doing what they love best, i.e. play their liking of sport. Thus it is important for the candidate or scholarship holder to find a balance between their sport and their academic field of study.
