Each year, Rhenish awards two scholarships to
Grade 8 learners who show exceptional talent/promise
in academic, sporting and cultural fields. The
scholarship covers school fees for Gr 8 &
9.
The 2009 recipients are Ananja van der Westhuizen (from
Laerskool Stellenbosch) and Elaine van Zyl
(from Lorraine Primary School, Port Elizabeth).
Applications for these merit scholarships must
be in by the end of May each year. Enquire from
the school secretary (021 887 6807).
This bursary is awarded on a yearly basis to
a matriculant with a good academic record who
attended Rhenish Primary School. Contact the principal
for more information.
The recipient of the 2008 Rhenish Bursary was
Gene McAravey.
Rhodes Scholarships are the world's oldest
and arguably most prestigious international
fellowships. They are the legacy of Cecil John Rhodes and have been awarded
annually ever since his death in 1902, on
the basis of academic qualities, as well
as qualities of character. The scholarships
are worth approximately 20,000 GBP per annum
and have a tenure of 1 to 3 years at Oxford
University. There are nine scholarships
available in South Africa. Four of these
are available to all South Africans and
are known as the South Africa-at-Large Scholarships.
In addition, Cecil Rhodes made specific
provision in his will for one scholar from
KwaZulu-Natal and one each from four schools,
namely Bishops, Paul Roos, SACS, and St
Andrew's College in Grahamstown.
