In addition to providing direct financial support to students through bursaries, the Academy also has a number of auxiliary support programmes aimed at inducting students into the citrus industry, developing their understanding of the industry, and improving their employability.
To fund bursaries and auxiliary support programmes, the Citrus Academy very much depends on industry support. At the same time, providing funding for these programmes gives companies in the industry an opportunity to make a direct contribution to the future of the industry, and to score valuable B-BBEE points.
