Cisco Charitable Foundation Trust Bursary

Description

The Cisco Charitable Foundation Trust Bursary aims to advance IT education opportunities for South African students. Established in 2021, the program seeks to support students pursuing degrees in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, and Software Engineering for the academic year of 2026. Applicants must be South African citizens with a strong academic record and whose family income falls between R350 000 and R600 000, ideally addressing the needs of the 'missing middle.' The bursary is targeted at students entering their first to fourth years of study (including B Tech and Honours programs). Applications must be submitted online with a required set of supporting documents including a clear photograph, academic records, and proof of household income. The application process encourages students to indicate where they found the bursary information, ensuring that they engage with the promotion of educational opportunities. The closing date for the application is September 30, 2025, and all interested candidates are encouraged to apply before the deadline, as late submissions will not be considered. For any queries, contact details for support are provided in the bursary advertisement.
