The Bertha Scholarships were created to nurture a new generation of social innovators, and to explore entrepreneurial solutions to help solve some of the urgent social and environmental problems of our time.

The Bertha Scholarship covers full and partial costs of the MBA programme at the UCT Graduate School of Business for candidates committed to social innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Bertha Centre offers MBA Scholarships to students that have met the requirements for the MBA programme and who are driven by their pursuit in social or green ventures. The focus will be on encouraging selected MBA students to fully realise projects and business ideas that make a real positive impact on society. Bertha Scholars will also have access to communities and to mentors to build on their ideas and create companies

Am I eligible?

The criteria used for selection of Bertha Scholars are:
