Unilever, a global consumer goods company, has announced the launch of its 2023 scholarship program in South Africa. The Unilever Scholarship program aims to support young, talented, and driven individuals to pursue their tertiary education dreams and is open to South African citizens and permanent residents.

The Unilever Scholarship program has been in operation for many years and has helped to empower numerous South African students who may not have otherwise had the financial resources to attend university. The program covers the cost of tuition fees, accommodation, and a monthly stipend to support living expenses. Successful applicants are also assigned a mentor, who provides guidance and support throughout their academic journey.

The Unilever Scholarship program is open to students studying a variety of disciplines, including engineering, finance, marketing, supply chain, and human resources. To be eligible for the program, applicants must have a minimum academic average of 70% in their Grade 12 final examinations and must have been accepted or provisionally accepted to a South African university or university of technology for the upcoming academic year.

In addition to meeting the academic requirements, applicants are also assessed on their leadership potential, community involvement, and commitment to making a positive impact in their local communities. Unilever is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from students from all backgrounds.

The Unilever Scholarship program is not just a financial aid program, but a platform for students to develop their leadership skills, build their networks, and gain exposure to the corporate world. Scholarship recipients are invited to participate in Unilever’s leadership development program, which includes workshops, training sessions, and mentorship opportunities. This program equips recipients with the necessary skills to excel in their studies and future careers, and to make a positive impact in their communities.

Applications for the 2023 Unilever Scholarship program are now open, and interested students can apply online through the Unilever South Africa website. The deadline for applications is 31 July 2023, and successful applicants will be notified by 31 October 2023.
