\"\"STADIO<\/strong><\/span> Higher Education<\/strong><\/a> has joined SA Rugby as the headline sponsor of the 2024 u18 STADIO Craven Week<\/strong>, which takes place from 24-29 June at Ho\u00ebrskool Monument in Krugersdorp.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, STADIO<\/span> will make three bursaries available to the u18 Craven Week Players of the Tournament<\/strong> (best back, best forward, and best player of the tournament), which will enable these players access to further their studies at a tertiary level.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, STADIO<\/span> is also an associate partner of the u16 and u18 Girls Week and the u16 Grant Khomo Week.<\/p>\n

The sponsorship underlines STADIO<\/span>\u2019s focus to support young athletes and ensure their tertiary education receives priority to unlock careers beyond rugby.<\/p>\n

STADIO<\/span> chief executive officer Chris Vorster<\/strong> said: \u201cIt\u2019s very important to us that sportsmen and women prioritise their education alongside their sporting endeavours and we are proud to facilitate this process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt STADIO<\/span>, we believe in the future of our nation and our message has resonated profoundly since our launch three years ago.<\/p>\n

Vorster said that STADIO<\/span> placed its students at the heart of its ethos. \u201cWe take a profound interest in what our students need,\u201d he said. \u201cWe offer higher education specially designed to meet industry requirements and to accommodate our students\u2019 diverse lifestyles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made a difference by offering wide-ranging and affordable access to private higher education, and equipping our students to become the most empowered version of themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pride ourselves in providing excellent support and service. We ensure that our students are important and valued while keeping things simple and focussing on what\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership includes a parallel agreement with the SA Schools Rugby Association (SASRA) for STADIO<\/span> to assist with education requirements of learners once they matriculate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to have the opportunity to partner with SA Rugby and the SA Schools Rugby Association,\u201d said Vorster.<\/p>\n

Rian Oberholzer, CEO of SA Rugby, said: \u201cThe alignment between STADIO<\/span>\u2019s goals and the purpose of the Youth Weeks makes for a perfect marriage and their support is highly appreciated.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir commitment to the tournament elevates the event for all stakeholders and we look forward to developing the relationship over coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n
