About | We believe everyone deserves opportunity. At the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation (Dell Young Leaders Scholarship) we’re dedicated to transforming the lives of children living in urban poverty through better education, health, and family economic stability. In South Africa, through our Dell Young Leaders program, we empower first-generation university students from low-income backgrounds to overcome their barriers to success and realise their role as leaders in their communities and careers. |
Partnership Offering | We aim to match strong talent through strong partnerships. We select students with grit and leadership potential who are pursuing professional and in-demand degrees at our partner universities. We then provide career readiness development to ensure they are competitive for leading graduate employment opportunities. South Africa’s leading employers can connect to this talent through partnerships with the programme, including matching to talent pipelines through direct shortlisting for graduate programme contracts and employment-linked bursaries, brand exposure, and sharing opportunity adverts; unlocking real-world exposure by setting up vacation work, mentorship, job shadowing and industry insights; and thought partnership on impact and equal opportunity to gain insights on our experience of supporting low-income students and accessibility of recruitment processes. |
