Tshego Cannabis Scholarship

Cheeba Cannibis Academy (Pty) Ltd, South Africa

Scholarship overview

The Tshego Cannabis Scholarship is run by Cheeba Cannabis & Hemp Academy at its campus in Rivonia, Johannesburg. It is funded by South African hip hop/R&B artist Tshego, known for his 2019 debut album Pink Panther (two South African Music Awards nominations) and releases through Universal Music, Def Jam Africa, Family Tree and his own label TWENTY5EIGHT. Tshego has said he set up the scholarship to support cannabis education and responsible adult use among young people.

The scholarship funds three students per year to attend Cheeba's flagship 12-week Cannabis Industry 101 course, which includes a 4-week internship with placement provided. The course runs at the Rivonia campus on Mondays to Thursdays and at the Jazzfarm in Lanseria on Fridays.
