To whom it may concern
I was studying last year a BA general degree because I didn’t get into Law I spent the whole year studying something I didn’t want to and also found out at the end of the year my bursary was unsuccessful. All I want to do is start my law degree and I’m hoping you can help me by giving the chance of receiving this bursary
Is there anyway that this bursary could fund students at Rhodes University.
Dell will not fund students at any university other than UCT and UP
