The Old Mutual Education Trust (OMET) was founded in April 2005 by Old Mutual as part of a BBBEE transaction with 10 unions with whom Old Mutual has a business relationship.
The scholarship is open to all participating union members and their dependents. This allows for the pursuit of any tertiary qualification at one of South Africa’s public higher education institutions.
OMET also supports the personal, academic and professional success of their students by providing: computers, tutoring, access to counseling services and preparation for the world of work.
