YES Empowerment Scholarship Fund:

Your generosity allows less fortunate people to have an opportunity to grow through the Academy. Though our teachings are offered by DANA exchange, our YES Empowerment Scholarship Fund helps subsidise anyone who has an authentic need to cover tuition, accommodation, transportation, or material costs incurred to attend BEZA trainings, retreats or workshops.

We evaluate the application based on a matrix of economic, demographic, interest and experience, number of applications, and historical relationship with BEZA. Applicants can receive up to a 90% scholarship.

BEZA Scholarships:

  • To make retreats & training accessible for unemployed or low-waged South Africans, and help foster diversity, equity and connection across the socio-economic spectrum, BEZA raises money through our YES Empowerment Scholarship Fund, to subsidise what it would cost a participant to attend our training.
  • Applicants can receive up to a 90% Scholarship depending on the outcome of your evaluation. All applicants must be prepared to contribute a minimum of 10%.
