Selected from hundreds of nominations made by readers all over South Africa, 10 incredible nominee stories were selected, paired up with impactful mentors, and featured on Sponsors of Brave: The Next Generation. From these 10, two ultimately walked away with one of two R25 000 scholarships. Their mentors also won with an all-expenses-paid trip to an overseas medical conference of their choice and the opportunity to pay-it-forward by donating R25 000 to a registered NPO charity of their choice.
With so many inspirational featured stories of brave young students and professionals in the healthcare industry, it came down to the readers and judges votes to pick the winners.
The readers choice winner was chosen by the votes of the readers, while the judges choice winner was selected by the panel of judges anonymously.
