Students walk away with Dell laptops, courtesy of Eduloan
Owning a laptop is one of the key necessities to any student - offering the flexibility and opportunity to work on and submit assignments, complete projects and conduct research timeously and from the comfort of your own home. Four lucky winners will now experience this convenience, thanks to Eduloan and their recently concluded ‘Win a Laptop' promotion. Students were afforded the opportunity to qualify for the draw if they submitted their loan applications between 13 July and 28 August 2009. The promotion was enhanced by experiential activations on campus, and supplemented by weekly spot prize draws. The lucky winner from the University of the Free State was Mr Phillip Diba. He requested a loan for his son Andile Diba, studying agricultural management at UFS. "This competition is just another way Eduloan has helped make my life easier and less complicated," adds Phillip, "Andile can use the laptop for his studies, and we can also use it together as a family." The remaining three lucky winners, drawn on 4 September 2009, are: These winners will be using their new Dell laptops in their regular student and working lives, and have identified assignment and project completion and professional correspondence as their key uses for their new equipment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CPUT Student Another Winner with Eduloan!
Stephan Wiese, 27, a third-year Quantity Surveying student from the Cape Town University of Technology, is the lucky winner of the recent R20,000 bursary competition held by Eduloan, in conjunction with KFM. Providence, in the form of the generous prize from Eduloan, South Africa's dedicated education finance provider, smiled upon Stephan as he sat diligently studying at the varsity library during the holidays. Having heard the radio ad, he immediately logged on and entered online, but still can't believe he is the winner. Stephan says: "My mom has been funding my studies for the past three years, but is now retired and funds are seriously low. I was at my wits end trying to figure out how to pay for my last year without putting further strain on my mom, so this couldn't have come at a better time. I'm ecstatic to be the winner - thank you Eduloan and KFM!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Curriculum Advisor wins at Education Week Conference and Learning Expo
Manturosina Letsoalo, winner in the R5000 cash draw, is an education specialist that assists teachers and schools in the implementation of their curriculums. She is responsible for Foundation Phase teachers Grade 1,2 and 3. Manturosina is extremely excited to have won, as her daughter who is currently studying economics at University of Free State, had just requested financial assistance from her mother to buy textbooks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cash Draw CompetitionElias Mthimkhulu, a UNISA student from Durban, was hugely excited to win the R10,000 prize in the Eduloan competition held on Metro FM's Breakfast Show. The prize cheque was presented to Elias in a hand-over ceremony held at UNISA's KwaZulu-Natal boardroom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our 2009 Grand Bursary Winner
In January 2009 Eduloan ran a national competition with Metro FM where entrants had to SMS the word ‘Eduloan' as well as their career of choice. The daily winners were put into the grand prize lucky draw for a R75 000 bursary. "I can't believe it!" enthuses Sinhle. "Finally my dreams of studying further are about to come true. Words cannot express my gratitude to Eduloan for giving me this opportunity - it has already changed my life. Now that I can study it's like there's a light on my path. I will not let Eduloan down - I am going to work very hard at my studies and make them proud!" Sinhle has enrolled for a two-year Diploma in Journalism at the Rosebank College in Braamfontein, starting on 23 February 2009. The balance of the bursary funds will be put towards assisting with her textbooks and accommodation requirements. This will be managed on the Edu-Xtras card. Eduloan is very aware that the high drop off rate in first year students is attributed to lack of supporting finance around education requirements (i.e. accommodation and textbooks), and as Sinhle will be relocating from Witbank to Johannesburg, the Edu-Xtras card will give her peace of mind to focus on her studies.
