I am incredibly grateful to the R B Hagart Trust for the top-up bursary funding I received during my studies. It covered my accommodation and meals, allowing me to live the life of a normal student—free from financial worry and able to focus fully on my academics.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Career Wise for the support you have provided throughout my academic journey. Being selected as a bursary recipient was more than just financial assistance — it was a reminder that Career Wise believed in my potential, even when times were hard.

Coming from a challenging background, this support gave me the dignity, stability, and confidence I needed to succeed. Today, I proudly hold my Bachelor of Education degree in Intermediate phase because Careerwise believed in me.

I look forward to giving back by becoming a mentor at Sizanani Saturday School and, one day, a funder myself—helping make another student’s journey just as memorable and possible.

Thank you for being part of my story.

I just want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support you’ve given me throughout my academic journey.
I’m truly grateful to have been a recipient of your bursary. It made a huge impact in my life, not just financially, but emotionally too. I’m the first graduate in my family and it was all possible because of Thusani Trust and CareerWise.
Your support covered not only my tuition, but also things like textbooks and living expenses. That made such a huge difference and allowed me to fully commit to my education without constant stress.
Knowing that my family didn’t have worry financially about my fees was a great motivation for me. Honestly, I don’t know where I’d be without your help.
Now that I’ve graduated, I’m exiting to take the next steps and Im currently applying for job opportunities and excited to start working. I’m hopeful and ready to keep growing, knowing the foundation you helped me build is strong.
Thank you for believing in me and investing in my future. I’m so proud to be a graduate, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Thusani Trust and Career Wise. Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Asanda Qwabe

Dear Careerwise Team
I’m very grateful for your support in funding my Chemical Engineering studies at Wits. I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without you.
You didn’t just pay my fees, you also guided and mentored me when I needed it most. Because of you, I never felt alone in my struggles, and now I can proudly say that I’m a Chemical Engineer!
This wouldn’t have been possible without Careerwise. You gave me more than money, you gave me a future. I’ll always be grateful for that.
One day, I hope to make you proud by using my degree to help others, just like you helped me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Chantal studied BComm (Hons) in Information Systems at the University of Johannesburg and graduated in 2025.
