A partnership between Red and Yellow Creative Business School and Publicis Groupe Africa will see students being awarded bursaries, which will equip them with top skills for the creative industry.

Bursaries have the potential to assist South Africa in growing its economy and tackling unemployment by opening doors to a credible qualification and a promising career.

A partnership between Red and Yellow Creative Business School and Publicis Groupe Africa will see students being awarded bursaries, which will equip them with top skills for the creative industry.

Red and Yellow’s reputation as a creative school of business is strongly underpinned by its social promise to ensure that at least 10 percent of all students have bursaries for full-time studies at its Cape Town campus. In 2019, 15 percent of students were supported by bursaries and this number was even higher in 2020.
