Pay broadcaster M-Net is launching a brand-new bursary fund that it will run in 2011 for the first time, and which will financially support South African students within the broader media industry.
Koo Govender, M-Net's director of corporate marketing and communications let slip at the 2010 Vuka! Awards about the new bursary fund that will kick off in 2011 and will benefit the South African media industry.
''The one thing I can reveal is that M-Net is launching a bursary fund for previously disadvantaged students to study at excellent advertising, communications and film schools in South Africa,'' Koo Govender said. ''This is M-Net's contribution to the transformation of the media industry and to encourage students to enter the Vuka! Awards next year.''
