About this bursary
The Gauteng provincial government, through the Gauteng City Region Academy, funds bursaries for Gauteng residents studying in fields linked to the province's scarce-skills priorities.
It's one of several provincial government bursary routes available alongside national schemes like NSFAS, generally aimed at students who live in Gauteng specifically rather than nationally.
Because it's a provincial rather than national programme, funded fields and available spots are typically smaller in scale than national schemes, and tend to shift based on Gauteng's current economic development priorities.
