SIET BENEFICIARIES

Faheemah Normarkali

The SIET Bursary has benefitted me and my family financially. It made us less worried about how I am going to get school supplies and books especially when the school does not provide free books and uniforms. We must get them using our own pocket money. Therefore, this bursary lessens the burden of not just me but my family as I can now get enough school supplies or revision books and items that I need. In Mechatronics, we need a lot of hand tools and school does not provide all of them. Thus, to do school projects well we need proper hand tools and since they are not so cheap so I will use this bursary to get what I need.

Praveen Kumar

Receiving the SIET Bursary has helped lighten the financial burden of my family. The financial aid that I receive helps with my monthly expenses in school and allows my dad to handle other financial matters with lesser constraints. As my dad is the sole breadwinner of the family, this financial aid helps him to manage my younger sister’s expenses in school as well. My younger sister is in her final year in Republic Polytechnic and my mom is a housewife. The financial aid received from SIET helps me focus on my academics instead of worrying about the monthly expenses in school. It allows me to perform my best without any worries about monetary expenses.

Upon receiving the SIET bursary in 2019, it has helped to lessen the financial burden for my family. I had to leave my part-time job to concentrate on my studies. Some days I end up without eating at all until I get home. However, with this bursary, I have enough money to eat as well as focus on studies to achieve good grades. Thanks to SIET for providing me with this bursary and help my family and me.
