Aims:
To provide individuals with opportunities to start or continue education.
To provide financial support to children, young people and adults to enable them to enter education, stay in education or progress to higher education.

Examples of Successful Projects:
Ten bursaries annually to pre-primary school children who would otherwise not have the opportunity to gain an education.
A bursary to a pre-primary school head teacher to provide her with the opportunity to gain her Bachelors Degree in Education.
One full bursary and one part bursary for two students studying Medical Sign Language at the University of Cape Town.

In the five year period 2010 to 2015, we are focusing on the following core areas of activity:

Future projects:
Continue to expand the number of school children receiving bursaries as funding permits.
Approach the University of Cape Town and establish a Children of the Universe Foundation Scholarship to be awarded to a student in the Cape Metropolitan area.

How these Projects will be Evaluated:
Monitoring the number of school children benefitting from bursaries.
Monitoring the academic record of the university student.
Monitoring the number of school children bursary recipients who graduate to the next level of education.
Evaluating, through informal interviews with university bursary recipients, the extent to which they achieve self identified learning goals.
