At the House of Paint Easter Rugby Festival this year, three top rugby players were awarded a R60 000 all inclusive bursary to study towards a BCom Marketing (UNISA) degree through Varsity College and a Sharks Academy contract for 2010.

This is the second consecutive year that Varsity College has been involved in the festival. The first recipient of the bursary Sibo Sithole, started at the Sharks Academy at the beginning of 2009 and is studying a BCom degree.
