The Mills Memorial Bursary
The Tim Mills Memorial Bursary for LLM studies was established in 2013 in memory of Tim Mills, a former director of Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr. Tim passed away on 24 May 2012. He was an exceptional employment lawyer but it was his incredibly generous spirit and irrepressibly good nature that endeared him most to colleagues, clients and the broader Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr family.

The bursary will cover university/tuition fees only up to a maximum total amount of R25 000 per student for the duration of his/her studies. This bursary may be awarded on an annual basis.
