Old Mutual Investment Group Imfundo Trust Scholarship for 2027

The Imfundo Trust is an Old Mutual Investment Group scholarship initiative supporting transformation in the investment industry. The Trust assists Black South African students, particularly women, to pursue full-time tertiary studies at selected South African universities. For 2027, the listed business and finance route is open to students who will be in their first or second year of study.

Eligible fields include Business, Commerce, Finance and Management Sciences or Management Studies. The programme also lists selected Computer Science, Data Science, Climate Studies and Engineering qualifications. First-year applicants are expected to have achieved at least 70 percent in their mid-year Grade 12 examinations, including the stated Mathematics and English thresholds. Current first-year students need an average of at least 65 percent in their latest examinations. Students from rural and township backgrounds are given preference.

Applications are submitted through StudyTrust’s online platform. The published application season for the next academic year runs from 1 June to 30 September, and the 2027 cycle has closed. Applicants should consult the official page for the list of selected universities and the next application cycle.
