Graduates turn owners at STADIO
STADIO Namibia has launched the Khulisa Student Share Scheme, which grants postgraduate graduates actual business shares in the institution. The initiative aims to foster intergenerational wealth creation and move students beyond traditional job-seeking mindsets.
Why it matters
This represents a novel approach to higher education, linking academic achievement directly to equity ownership and long-term financial assets.
In a move that redefines the rewards of higher education, STADIO Namibia has minted its 2026 postgraduate class as direct shareholders in the institution through its innovative Khulisa Student Share Scheme.
Speaking at the recent graduation ceremony in Windhoek, where over 3 000 qualifications are being awarded, STADIO Principal and Chief Executive Officer Stan du Plessis revealed that the pioneering scheme, which hands out actual business shares alongside academic certificates, has accumulated a value of approximately N$15 million since its 2022 inception.
The initiative aims to push advanced scholars beyond the traditional mindset of entry-level job seeking and directly into long-term, intergenerational wealth creation.
