SAIMM Scholarship Fund - Help us Raise R500 000 by June 2016

SAIMM Scholarship Fund - Help us Raise R500 000 by June 2016 View this email in your browser Help us Raise R500 000 by June 2016 Now more than ever, students need financial support and we need your help. Over the last 12 years the SAIMM Scholarship Fund has disbursed over R2.9 million towards the education of students in mining, metallurgical and chemical (minerals processing) engineering. This is made possible by kind donations from company affiliates and individual members like you.   Given the uncertainty of our economy and its dramatic impact on the cost of higher education, demand for scholarships is greater now than it has ever been before. Market conditions have negatively affected bursary and scholarship funding from corporate business and funding is anticipated to significantly decrease during the 2016-2017 academic years. Students still require some form of financial assistance to attend tertiary institutions and to afford tuition, accommodation, transportation, meals and prescribed books. Unless we can raise additional funds for this very worthwhile cause, a number of students will have to drop out of school due to financial reasons.   We would like to raise R500 000 this year to help reduce this funding shortfall. Due to our students' urgent need for scholarships, we are asking that you consider making a donation to help fund scholarships. We are specifically seeking donations of R200 but if you are only able to give R50 we will still highly appreciate your support. Donations are tax deductible. Beginning today and concluding on 30 June 2016, funds raised through this initiative will be used to benefit students in the 2016 academic year.   If you would like to assist academically deserving students who are struggling to meet their financial needs, donate directly from our website - www.saimm.co.za/donate. It takes only 3-5 minutes of your time to change a life forever. Any support will be highly appreciated by us and the students that we provide a service to. If you have any queries please feel free to contact Sam Moolla through the phone number below or via email at Sam@saimm.co.za.   We truly appreciate your consideration of our request and your support of the SAIMM Scholarship Trust Fund. Together we are enriching the lives of our students and supporting the future of our industry.
