  • The family of Dwane Martin, his parents Fred and Babe (now deceased) , his brother-in-law Rodney (now deceased) and sister Kit (now deceased)
  • Raymond and Wendy Ackerman
  • Mike Morris
  • Brian Kantor (2024)

The Trustees also wish to thank the following corporate sponsors:

  • Astron Energy (formerly CALTEX) for its sponsorship from 1986-2007. in particular it recognises the enormous contribution of Roy Wright (now retired)
  • Pick n Pay and the ACKERMAN FAMILY FOUNDATION for its sponsorship 2008 - 2019
  • CORPORATE IMAGE for its sponsorship
  • Today, the scholarships are sponsored by Corporate Image, and in 2024, an additional scholarship was awarded by Professor Brian Kantor.

The Trustees express their deepest condolences to the families of Selwyn Veley, Chris Downie and Raymond Ackerman who had been steadfast supporters of the Scholarship Programme from its inception. Their contributions were critical for the success of the Programme and they will be sorely missed.
