Bursaries honour Adele Lucas
Two bursaries, valued at R25 000 each, have been awarded to fourth year University of Johannesburg (UJ) architecture students, Nandi Khumalo and Jessica Grobbelaar, in honour of Adele Lucas, following her death in June 2010. The Adele Lucas bursary provides the means for deserving women students to earn an education in the arts before embarking on their careers.

Lucas had a passion for the development of women in business and the arts and was one of the founder members of the Monday Club, which in the 1960s promoted the interests of women in what was then a very male dominated society.
Female BTech Degree students, from all eight art and design disciplines offered at the UJ Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture applied for the bursary.
"Many of our students rely on external funding in order to continue with their studies, but the support available to creative disciplines is limited. This bursary is a positive initiative that benefits our faculty, students and the larger art and design community," says Dr Finzi Saidi, vice-dean of the University of Johannesburg's Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture.
"We are proud that as part of Adele's legacy we are giving two young women a helping hand in their careers," adds Toby Chance, MD of Adele Lucas Promotions.
