About this bursary
SITA, South Africa's state IT agency, offers bursaries for students studying IT and computer science-related qualifications, aimed at building a pipeline of talent for government digital services.
Recipients are typically expected to complete a period of work with SITA or the broader public sector after graduating, similar to other state-owned entity bursaries.
As government IT needs grow — from cybersecurity to digital public services — SITA's bursary is positioned as a route into public-sector technology careers rather than the private tech industry.
