Convergence Partners continues its support for the Student Spons
Convergence Partners will, as part of its social investment initiatives, continue to support the SSP. The Convergence Partners SSP sponsorship dates back to 2012 and is aimed at ensuring the best academic and personal growth for scholars on the programme. Our commitment is to supporting a number of SSP students with a scholarship for their participation in the SSP (from grade 8 up to and including grade 12).
The SSP is a scholarship and mentorship programme aimed at identifying and supporting historically disadvantaged scholars that are academically talented and show strong leadership qualities, by funding tuition at some of South Africa’s top high schools.
SSP also expose scholars to exclusive opportunities to study not only in South Africa, but also internationally at Amherst College, Harvard and Boston University respectively. Convergence Partners has identified education as a key area of focus and through the Convergence Partners Foundation.
Convergence Partners is proud to support initiative like the SSP, not only because it is making a difference in the country, but also the personal fulfillment that staff members enjoy from interactions with the learners over the years.
We are also pleased to congratulate one of our SSP students, Boipelo Zuma, for successfully completing his matric examinations and wish him well in his studies at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2014.
