“I will always feel blessed because I had a bursary that walked with me until I received my Honours degree.” These are the words Shirley Baloyi, a learner who received sponsorship from Signa Trust.

This amazing young woman’s journey started in 2018 when she faced the risk of becoming a dropout towards the end of her pharmacology dream. In her own words, she said, “I am grateful that I got this bursary when I did because not only did it support me, but it also fuelled my fire to make a success story out of myself.”

Shirley looks forward to a bright future, “I am now an intern for a multinational pharmaceutical company, and that would not have been possible without my education.” She now holds an Honours degree in Pharmacology, a top scarce skill from the University of Pretoria in our country. We wish Shirley all the best in her new career as she helps to change the lives of many others.
