Eduvos Students Make Their Mark at the 2026 GradStar Awards.
Post by Eduvos, September 30, 2026.
Twenty-eight Eduvos students have been named among the 2026 GradStar Top 100, giving Eduvos the highest representation of
any higher education institution in South Africa this year. It is an achievement that celebrates our student' talent, determination,
and readiness to contribute to the world of work.
From more than 10,000 entries across public and private institutions, 195 Eduvos students earned a place in the
Top 500, representing 39% of those recognised. Of these students, 28 progressed to the Top 100, building on the
seven Eduvos students recognised at this stage in 2025.
Behind these numbers are individuals developing their skills, pursuing their ambitions, and showing employers what they have to offer.
Recognising Potential Beyond the Classroom.
The annual GradStar Awards celebrate South Africa's most employable students, recognising the skills, potential,
and readiness they demonstrate as emerging professionals. The awards also connect students with leading employers,
creating opportunities to showcase their abilities and take the next step in their careers.
For our students, recognition in the Top 100 is an opportunity to bring their talents to a national platform.
It highlights the capabilities they are developing during their studies and the contribution they can make as they
enter the workplace.
Meet Our GradStar Top 100 Students.
We are proud to celebrate the following 28 Vossies across seven Eduvos campuses and Eduvos Online.

Preparing for More Than Graduation.
Preparing for the world of work takes more than completing a qualification. Students also need opportunities to apply their knowledge,
understand professional environments, and build confidence in their abilities.
At Eduvos, industry exposure, Work-Integrated Learning, career development, and academic support help students develop these capabilities throughout their studies.
These experiences connect academic learning with practical application and support students as they consider their next steps.
This year's GradStar results reflect the talent within our student community and the commitment our students bring to their own development. We celebrate all 195
Vossies recognised in the Top 500 and congratulate the 28 who progressed to the Top 100.
To our recognised students: your hard work deserves to be celebrated. We are proud to see you making your mark and look forward to what comes next.
