Application is now open for students to apply for the City of Johannesburg Bursary.
Johannesburg, a young city with an incredible history and legacy sprang up in 1886 when gold was found by prospectors found in the area now known as the Witwatersrand. When the public discovered about Johnnesburg, thousands migrated to this settlement in search of fortune and new opportunities. Up to date, Johannesburg is still attracted by those who see it as an avenue to realize their dreams and achieve success.
The new city was named after two officials of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR); Johannes Meyer and Johannes Rissik. Johannesburg grew and transformed rapidly from a small settlement into a fully developed city. The Anglo-Boer war could not even stop its growth. Johannesburg has always been recognised as the gold beating heart of South Africa in those stormy times and beyond.
Through the years, Johannesburg has been the site of many iconic events. Here, the Springboks beat the All Blacks to win the Rugby World Cup in 1995, and, of recent, South Africa showed the world that a huge event large as the FIFA Soccer World Cup can be hosted with grace and style.
In fulfiling its socio-economic mandate, The City of Johannesburg (CoJ) is committed to providing training opportunities in form of Financial Assistance to community recipients, within the Johannesburg metropolitan area, who intend to pursue academic studies at a recognised tertiary institution in South Africa and who adhere to the stated criteria to ensure they acquire their qualification at a recognised FET and/or HET.
