9. ISOE feedback 16 bursaries were awarded last year, although one student (Bheki Dlamini) withdrew The ISOE bursaries total R 25000, paid in two tranches. The first tranche was paid to all students. The second tranche was due in July 2011 but funds has still not been forthcoming from FoodBev. Due to new SETA legislation our role in terms of bursary administration has been terminated but that we hope to retain a technical role. FoodBev SETA will not also be able to give bursaries or sponsorship to intervarsity brewing competition.
