After a stringent selection and interview process, Katlehong\u2019s Appiah Mosebo has been awarded an all-expenses-paid scholarship, valued at R170 000, to follow his dream of obtaining a tertiary education, by the Peermont Education Trust (PET), a community social investment initiative of Emperors Palace.<\/p>\n

Much to his delight, and the five other lucky candidates from Ekurhuleni, they received their official scholarship letters at a recent induction function at Emperors Palace.<\/p>

Apart from having their tuition and accommodation expenses covered, getting books and a laptop each, the trust also provides a comprehensive mentorship programme for scholarship recipients, like Mosebo, to enable them to cope and develop new skills during their time at university.<\/p>\n

The programme covers study skills, emotional intelligence and employability.<\/p>\n

Monthly mentorship meetings are also held with the students to ensure they receive the much-needed socio-psychological support required.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, we have found that we are able to increase our graduation rate by offering learners additional support throughout the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this end, the trust has an impressive 85 per cent graduation rate compared to the national graduation rate of 22 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exceptional considering the learners hail from township schools,\u201d said trust manager Jenny Findlay.<\/p>\n
