The Nedbank UNESWA Scholarship Fund

The Nedbank Swaziland Scholarship Programme is a flagship undertaking which was initiated through the bold, decisive and visionary leadership of Nedbank Swaziland. It aims to avail full scholarship funding to academically capable, albeit economically disadvantaged Swazi citizens who are enrolled at the University of Swaziland (UNESWA) in specially selected academic programmes.
