ISPA Inspires Inaugural Bursary Winners

Fabian Brijlal

Age: 25
Fabian is a hard working individual and no stranger to the pressures and hardships of life, and facing them head on.

Fabian believes that his actions speak for themselves, and he is also a very articulate and capable direct communicator. Fabian is a driven natural leader, and was elected deputy head boy of Palmcroft Primary School in 2009. Despite facing major challenges during his school years, including suffering a broken leg during grade 12 exams, and trying financial conditions, he still managed to achieve a bachelor’s pass with flying colours.

The past year, 2020, was no different, and presented yet more challenges which Fabian tackled head on, and he continued to strive for his education. After saving up some money from temporary work, Fabian attended UNISA to study BSc, and achieved an aggregate of 77,6% and 3 distinctions out of 5 subjects in the first semester. In the second semester, Fabian managed to obtain 4 distinctions out of the 5 subjects with an aggregate of 79.4%. His aggregate for the year was 78.5%; and he is confident that he can still do much better than that.
