The University of the Free State (UFS) and Novus Media’s 45th Matriculant of the Year competition today announces its top group.
Matric learners who excel in academics, culture, sport and leadership, and who plan to study at the UFS next year, are invited to enter.
“What makes this competition so important is that a top group of South Africa’s future elite are able to interact regarding certain skills.”
“In a country facing diverse challenges, this competition reassures young people that their background or circumstances do not define their future.”
“The interviews helped me express my thoughts clearly. They pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me realise that I have far more potential than I thought.”
“The competition improved my self-confidence. It taught me to trust my abilities and to be proud of my achievements, hard work, and personality.”
Matriculants from across the country who are leaders and achievers in academics, culture and sport, and who plan to study at the UFS next year, can enter.
