Bursary funds
Father Bernard Brewer SJ Bursary
The Father Bernard Brewer SJ Bursary enables St David’s to support deserving boys with potential from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
Mizpah Bursary Fund
The Mizpah Bursary Fund (“mizpah” is a Biblical term meaning “words of blessing, protection and inspiration”) was founded in August 2017 by a bursary recipient who matriculated at the end of 2017. His wish in founding the bursary, with an initial R1 000 that he had raised through his own efforts, is that future boys in need will be able to have the same opportunities as he enjoyed at St David's.
Br Jude Pieterse Marist Alexandra Bursary Fund
