Thirty eight students will receive financial assistance from FUCHS Lubricants South Africa (FLSA) for studies in 2019 through the FLSA Bursary Scheme and FUCHS Foundation Trust.

“The idea is to facilitate access to education for deserving students who otherwise will not have the opportunity or whose chances of success may be compromised due to inadequate financial resources. Academic merit is an important criteria in allocating the bursaries as well as financial circumstances, with the less financially well-off students being prioritised over less needy counterparts,” explained Esther Seabi, Transformation Executive, Fuchs Lubricants South Africa. 

“Both bursary schemes are open to the public, and are one of FUCHS initiatives focused on economic empowerment. It is the company’s ambition to be a catalyst in economic transformation, partnering with stakeholders to support building a robust and deracialised economy,” she said.

“The other consideration is FUCHS Lubricants’ talent pool requirements, where those studying in fields that are relevant are preferred over those studying in unrelated fields.
