Rural learner pathways

A step-by-step journey that takes rural learners from school, into health studies, and back to serve their communities.

1. 1

   One-on-one Mentorship

   Rural learners are matched with health professionals and students who guide them from Grade 10 to their first year of study.

2. 2

   Career Exposure

   Talks, clinic visits and job shadowing that show learners what careers in medicine, nursing, pharmacy and allied health look like.

3. 3

   Subject & Matric Support

   Help with Maths, Physical Sciences and Life Sciences — the subjects that open the door to health studies.

4. 4

   Applications & Funding

   Step-by-step support with university applications, NBTs, bursaries and NSFAS so no learner is left behind by paperwork.

5. 5

   First-year Transition

   Continued mentorship through the first year at university, helping students settle, stay and succeed.

6. 6

   Give Back to Community

   Graduates return as mentors and health workers, strengthening care in the rural areas they come from.
