About the Bursary Provider
18twenty8® is a special group run by women that helps young women in South Africa go to college.
They believe education is a way to make women strong and independent.
They give money to help pay for school and also provide mentors to guide them.
The money they give is usually for one year of school. If a student does very well, they might get help for more years.
