Canon Collins Trust/Tom Queba Engineering Scholarships for Social Change 2019

Canon Collins Trust in partnership with Tom Queba Memorial Fund is delighted to offer scholarships for Masters level study in engineering subjects at South African universities. Canon Collins Trust will award two scholarships per year in the name of Tom Queba.

These scholarships are offered in memory of Tom Queba, who was a leader in the George taxi industry. His passion, commitment and vision for improved public transport, and for the future of the minibus taxi industry in George, have contributed greatly to the achievement of the GO GEORGE bus service. He was tragically killed in 2014, which prompted Pegasys to form the Tom Queba Memorial Fund and establish this scholarship in his memory.

WORTH

  • In 2020, the value of the scholarship package will range from R20,000 to R100,000 depending on student circumstances. Funding will be provided for up to a maximum of two years.
  • Canon also organises an annual conference for current scholars, and hold several smaller events throughout the year.

  • be a black female national of, and normally resident in, South Africa
