Student Support Objectives
At The Old Mutual Education Trust we want to ensure that 90% of our scholarship holders complete their studies, with 80% doing so in minimum time. We have two linked outcomes for our students: first, for them to perform well academically and pursue the correct career or course; and secondly, to be emotionally well and adjusted to university life and culture.
