Giving Back
Belgium Campus iTversity believes in the spirit of Ubuntu – for the benefit of all. Giving back to the community is very important to us. We believe in giving our time, as this is the most precious commodity we have. In collaboration with various partners and our students, we have projects and programmes to help develop our society and community.
We believe in standing up for those who cannot do so for themselves and becoming pillars for them to lean on.
The Initiatives We Are Involved In:
Yearly Leadership Programme
At Belgium Campus, we believe education, research, and community engagement should work together to drive meaningful change. Our integrated approach ensures that students apply their knowledge to real-world challenges, fostering both academic excellence and social impact. Through innovative projects, mentorship programs, and community outreach, we empower students to use technology as a tool for transformation.
Our leadership initiatives encourage students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. By participating in research-driven projects and service-learning experiences, they gain hands-on exposure to the evolving IT landscape while making a tangible difference in society. Through these efforts, we cultivate the next generation of IT leaders who are not only skilled professionals but also agents of positive change.
Academic Leadership
Our academic leadership initiatives empower students to engage with staff and peers on projects that drive positive change. Designed to develop self-awareness, responsibility, and proactive leadership skills, these initiatives prepare students to shape their futures and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through feedback, self-assessment, and collaboration, students gain the confidence to lead in both academic and professional settings.
Some of our key initiatives focus on expanding access to information, advancing artificial intelligence, and using technology to enhance personal growth. From eLibrary, which promotes learning through digital resources, to machine learning projects that refine AI-driven insights and gamification tools that encourage goal achievement, our programs equip students with the skills and experience to lead innovation in the IT industry.
Learner Development Programmes
We understand how difficult the final years of high school can be. Belgium Campus offers additional mathematics classes to grade 11 and 12 learners free of charge during the school holidays.
Funding
Belgium Campus offers Merit-Based Awards to students based on their scholarship test results and final Grade 11 or matric marks, ranging from R4,000 to R10,000 for diplomas and R6,000 to R20,000 for degrees. A limited number of bursaries are available for students in need, with all awards covering one academic year and deducted from tuition fees. Scholarships for subsequent years are granted based on academic performance. On average, South African businesses invest between R15 and R20 million annually in scholarships.
Unite Against Cancer
One in two people are affected in one way or another by the devastating effects of cancer. This is why it is so important for us to create awareness about this dreaded disease and stand united in support of those who have to combat it every day. At Belgium Campus, we stand with those students who have to battle cancer and with those who have cancer in their communities. Through our cancer initiative, we strive to raise funds and build awareness about the fight against the terrible effects of this disease and support those who face it themselves and require support.
Charitable Initiatives
We are proud to say that our students have been empowered to launch some of their own charitable initiatives to not only help fellow students but also the surrounding community. Along with our students, we believe in giving back to those who need it.
It is impossible to receive with a closed hand, which is why we believe that our hands and hearts should always be open. Our students devote their time to assist in various programmes on and off campus.
