Red & Yellow opens early bursary applications for 2019

2018 full-time students at Red & Yellow

Red & Yellow's reputation as a Creative School of Business is strongly underpinned by their commitment to a social promise, which ensures that at least 10% of all students have bursaries for full-time studies at the Cape Town campus. Currently, 2018 boasts a glowing 17% of students who are supported by bursaries. Effective immediately, a limited number of bursary opportunities has just been released for all 2019 programmes.

These full-time programmes include a three-year BA Degree in Visual Communication, a one-year Advanced Diploma in Marketing and Advertising Communications, a one-year Advanced Diploma in User Centered Design, and two one-year Certificate programmes (Creating Digital Content or Graphic Design).

Red & Yellow's bursary offering is available only to South African citizens and allows a broad range of students to apply regardless of their background or circumstances. "This bursary has given me the opportunity to choose where I'm going - it's helped me see opportunities I previously would have missed," said a 2018 bursary student.

Jeandri Robertson, Head of Education commented,"We have an opportunity, as a private tertiary institution, to really make a difference in the education of our country just as we've done since we were established in 1994. We're in such a fortunate position in that we get to connect businesses with school-leavers, to the benefit of both. What we do is about more than just what happens in the classroom and this is our way of showing that."

"Our students come from all walks of life - different backgrounds, different languages, different goals - and we're better off as a business school because of that," comments Wesley Fredericks, MD of Red & Yellow. "We're here to teach the greats of the future, and those greats are our students. We've been teaching business leaders to think creatively since 1994, and we don't intend to stop."

Integrating the four faculties of Management Studies, Marketing, Human Studies and Creative Production into all programmes, Red & Yellow is preparing students with the commercial logic, uniquely human skills and creative magic that will set them apart. It is part of Red & Yellow's mandate to make this possible, as it has been for almost 25 years.
