Turn Your Network Into Opportunity

At The DaVinci Institute, we believe that meaningful connections create meaningful impact. Our Refer a Student Programme rewards individuals who connect prospective students to life-changing educational opportunities.

Whether you are an alumnus, partner, or part of our broader community, you can play a role in shaping someone’s future, while being recognised for it.

How It Works

Referring a student is simple:

  1. Submit a referral through our official referral form
  2. The prospective student engages with our admissions team
  3. Once the student successfully registers and payment is received, your referral is confirmed
  4. You receive your referral reward

A referral is only considered successful once the student has fully registered and payment has been received

Your Reward

For every successful referral, you will receive:

  • R750 referral fee per registered student

This applies to external individuals such as alumni, partners, and members of the public who introduce prospective students to The DaVinci Institute.

Who Can Refer?

We welcome referrals from:

  • Alumni of The DaVinci Institute
  • Industry partners and collaborators
  • Corporate stakeholders
  • Members of the public

All referrers are required to complete and sign a referral agreement before any payment is processed

Important Guidelines

To ensure fairness and transparency:

  • Referrals must be submitted through the official process
  • The referred student must not already exist in our system as an active lead
  • Payments are processed after student fees have been received and cleared
  • Referral rewards are paid in the month following successful payment confirmation
  • Applicable taxes (such as PAYE) may be deducted in line with regulations

Why Refer?

Because this is bigger than a transaction.

  • You help someone access quality, work-integrated education
  • You contribute to developing future leaders and innovators
  • You become part of a network that connects knowledge, opportunity, and impact

This is Connessione in action, not just knowing people, but connecting them to possibility.

A Shared Journey of Growth

At The DaVinci Institute, we reward not just referrals, but relationships. This programme reflects our commitment to collaboration, growth, and shared success across our community.
