The Fix Scholarship
The Fix Scholarship is open to all applicants under the age of 35. All of these are dependent on these agreements being carried over to 2016, and on the applicant passing the entrance test. 5FM’s Fikile ‘Fix’ Moeti is on a mission again to help create South Africa’s Top Social Entrepreneurs.
Fix (as her listeners affectionately know her) is known for her bubbly personality on air and is a firm favourite with listeners, six days a week. She now is extending her portfolio to giving back to social development, an audience she is passionate about. This is the third year running of the Fix Scholarship in partnership with the Gordon Institute for Business Science (GIBS). Fix, who is a graduate of the GIBS Social Entrepreneurship Programme, is applying her personal mantras of achieving goals, and wants to pay the way forward by offering social agents an opportunity at the highly respected institution to make their visualisations’ a realisation.
