How We Fund

The JB Marks Education Trust Fund is primarily supported by the Mineworkers Investment Trust, which receives dividends from the Mineworkers Investment Company. The demand for funding has increased over the years, resulting in thousands of deserving applicants being turned down annually.

Ensuring the fund operates effectively.

Governance

Governance is rigorous. We report comprehensively and regularly to stakeholders and donors. We are a registered Trust under Trust Property Control Act, 1988 (Act 57 of 1988) and a registered PBO. Our seven board members draw on experience from a wide range of industries. Our financial year-end is 28 February.

Money on a mission

As a registered Trust, we must ensure funds are used effectively and according to our mission. Therefore, funding may only be accepted if a course of study falls within our mandate.

A bursary is valid for the course of study, but in certain circumstances, our trustees can withhold payments to institutions and even terminate the bursary.

For example, a bursary is terminated if a student abandons the course of study within six months of enrolment or fails a level. Funding will continue until the selected course of study is completed as an undergraduate degree without failing a level. Should a student receive financial aid or a bursary from another source, the Trust will terminate the bursary.
