Athlone Institute Bursary Project Fund (AIBPROF) South Africa 2025

The Athlone Institute Trust (AIT) was established in 1926 for the residents of the Paarl area since they were in severe need of Higher Educational facilities for coloured students. 

The Bursary Project Committee was founded and later in 2006 renamed “The Athlone Institute Bursary Project Fund (AIBPROF)”. 

With a strong focus on academic excellence and personal development, the institute offers a variety of programs across various disciplines. 

Athlone Institute Trust aims to empower students to reach their full potential and contribute positively to society.
