ATHLONE INSTITUTE
The Athlone Institute Trust (AIT) was established in 1926, when residents of the Paarl area recognised the need for Higher Educational facilities for coloured students. AIT aims to make funds available to assist students with their tertiary studies.
ABOUT THE BURSARY
In 1998, the Bursary Project Committee was founded and later in 2006 became renamed as “The Athlone Institute Bursary Project Fund (AIBPROF)”. AIBPROF has since helped more than 1500 students with their tertiary studies.
Bursaries are awarded to students residing within the Paarl or Mbekweni area (Western Cape) OR students who are a parishioner at any of the five members churches of the AIT (which include: St Stephen’s Anglican Church, Immanuel UR Church, Bethel United Congregational Church (UCC), Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Zions Uniting Reformed Church).
In 2024, the AIT awarded R900 000 in bursaries to 81 students, studying towards various qualifications.
